What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition, first impression.
In the original publisher’s unclipped dust wrapper.
Thomas Hardy's penultimate poetry collection, widely considered to be his most cheerful collection, with Hardy himself noting his fears that he had been 'too liberal in selecting flippant, not to say farcical, pieces into the collection'.
More sombre poems are also featured, with 'Nobody Comes' recording his lonely wait for his second wife Florence Dugdale to return after an operation in London.
Three pages of publisher's advertisements to the rear.
