Stars And Primroses: An Anthology Lettered and Illuminated for Children


M. G. Green (editor); Shelley, Browning, Shakespeare, Yeats etc.


John Lane the Bodley Head 1945

Binding:  Hardback  |  Condition: Good  | 

Beautifully presented anthology, ostensibly for children but pleasing to any reader, on a variety of themes. Including extracts from Shakespeare, Shelley's Prometheus Unbound, Housman's Shropshire Lad and other poems including Thomas' Addlestrop, Speak of the North by Charlotte Bronte and many more. All produced with elegant lettering and colour decorations throughout. First printing. Rubbing to edges of DJ with some small tears, foxing to DJ and covers. Foxing to end papers and very occasional light spotting within, binding tight. Good. A nice example.
