Sobre este artículo
London: Faber & Faber, 1930. 1st. hardback. Very good 1st edition, no d/j, green boards/brown spine good with sunning at edges and spine; gilt decorations and titling clear; untrimmed pages very good, clean and unmarked, only a little foxing on endpapers and edges. Very good copy.. 8vo: royal (250 x 170 / 10"" x 6_""). One of de la Mare's famous thematic anthologies. As critic Lord David Cecil wrote, '""De la Mare's anthologies should be numbered among his creative works; for in them the quoted passages are woven together on a web of imaginative comment as highly wrought and as often as long as the quotations themselves; so that the whole emerges less as a collection of other men's writings than an expression of the thoughts aroused in the anthologists by these writings, and coloured by the mood in which he read them. These anthologies represent a new literary form invented by Mr de la Mare, which he has employed as yet another mode to express his unique vision of reality.""
