About This Item
London: North West Arts 1978, 1978. First edition. 197x143mm. pp. 28. Bound in white card with just jacket illustrated with a photograph of the author on the upper cover. Inscribed on front free endpaper: "For Robert Graves, in appreciation, Simon Curtis. May '78". Slight marking and soiling to covers but otherwise in excellent condition throughout. A lovely little work touchingly inscribed. Curtis seems to have been a thoroughly splendid figure. His obituary describes his work as "poetry, which rhymed and was perfectly accessible, [and] was distinguished by, in his words, its "shrewd, ironic and Horatian tone". It ranged from accomplished light verse, which was often very funny, to deeply affecting poems about family bereavement".

About Voewood Rare Books
Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
