About This Item
Described hard but fairly and honestly,reflected in price.
Story in verse,a narrative poem with Arthurian overtones.
Masefield would soon replace Robert Bridges as the Poet Laureate in 1930,having been chosen in preference to Rudyard Kipling,A. E Housman,Yeats,John Drinkwater, Walter de la Mare,and Henry Newbolt,six of his eminent contemporaries.John Masefield served as Britain's Poet Laureate from 1930-1967.
Jacynth Parsons (b. 1911 - d. 1992.) child artist and daughter of stained-glass designer and maker,Karl Parsons,whose close friend Harry Clarke helped to organise an exhibition of her work at the Medici Galleries in 1927,entitled 'Pictures From the Age of 3 to 16'. She had previously illustrated Wiliam Blake's 'Songs of Innocence' (1927) Clarke also introduced her to W.B. Yeats,who in an enthusiastic introduction to Blake's title,wrote, 'Jacynth Parsons is a genius of an amazing precocity,an accomplished artist and dreaming child'. She lived with her family in Middlesex (UK) and was a friend of the poet W. H. Davies from the age of two and she also illustrated his 'Forty-nine Poems'.(1928).Her father,Karl,published a children's poetry book: 'Ann's Book' (1929) a charming collaboration of his poems and her pencil drawings.She does not appear to have published anything in adult life.
