Description:
London: The Mandrake Press, 1929. First Edition. Octavo. 187pp. One of the most brilliant dust jacket with front panel showing the horrors of war where the real enemy is the ugly monster symbolized by the green ravenous beast faced by the soldier in stark horror. Liam O'Flaherty served in World War I as a private in the Irish Guards, so this was his coming to grips with the "war to end all wars". Bound in brown cloth, spine lettering green, some off setting to endpapers, in pictorial dust jacket with chipping to corners and along upper edge of jacket, a crease to rear panel and a dark spot to spine. A very good copy.

Arthur H.Stockwell, London [c.1925]., 1925. Book. Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing). Slim 8vo. 31pp. Textured purple cloth with gilt lettering and a blind-stamped border to the upper board. The backstrip ends a little rubbed and worn, and the cloth there faded with a little further uneven fading to the margins of the boards. Some light spotting to the endpapers and title leaf, and the binding a little tender at one gathering. Quite a nice, bright copy of a most uncommon book, which comprises fifteen chronologically ordered poems spanning 1914-1919, split into three sections: 'Portents 1914', 'Home' and 'France and Flanders'. Rather than folk rhymes, I believe these to be original poems, but the work is not noted by Reilly and I can find only two references to either the author or the book: a note in a 7 August 1925 issue of 'The Argus', and a passing reference in an article in the December 1928 issue of 'The Musical Times'..
