What Our Customers Say...

Description

Decorative Binding, First Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

The very scarce first edition of the work.

In publisher's original green decorative cloth binding. Includes gilt to top edge. 

A beautiful collection of poetry by Michael Field, a pseudonym used by Katherine Harris Bradley and her niece Edith Emma Cooper, writing around 40 works together with the intention to keep the pen name a secret, but it became public knowledge after they confided in Robert Browning. 

The poems are a masterful exploration of love, nature, and beauty. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, from classical mythology to contemporary literature, these poems are both timeless and deeply personal.

Condition

In publisher's cloth binding. Externally, very smart. Shelf wear to extremities with light fading to spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean with the odd spot.

Very Good Indeed
