About This Item
No DJ; the clothbound cover and spine show wear, they are faded and have a few damp stains. The binding is tight, text block pages are clear of marks.
A collection of poems found among the papers of the author's husband after his death, and arranged by him for publication.
Illustrated with many small meticulous wood engravings produced with a sensitive style by the artist who was involved in the revival of the medium in the 1930s. Overall a charming book!
