About This Item

London: Golden Cockerel, 1952. Copy number 348/360. Hardback. 80pp. Half bound in pink and blue-grey cloth and gilt decoration to upper board and spine. Top edge gilt. Printed on Arnold's mould-made paper in Caslon's Old Face type. Eight aquatints by John Buckland-Wright. Phyllis Hartnoll (Newdigate prize winner, poet and scholar) has turned to the beauties of the classical scene, and recreates a legend that moves from the known city of Syracuse to the imagined horrors of undiscovered Africa. Here she weaves a tale that mingles the ecstasy and heart break of young lovers, the sunshine and shadow of their April love that triumphs over all obstacles and outfaces death. The writing has inspired a series of brilliant aquatints engraved and etched by John Buckland-Wright. A really lovely book with the original Prospectus loosely inserted. Book in near fine condition. Just an occasional very minor mark to covers and very slight toning to endpapers.
