Sobre este artículo
London: The Dropmore Press, 1947. (6), 66, (4) pages. 4to. First printing. This was the fourth in a series called "The Dropmore Essays." Number 420 of an edition limited to 550 copies. Letterpress printed on paper that was hand made by Portals of Whitchurch. Fine binding by Evans of Croydon: blue cloth decorated and lettered in gilt; gilt dentelles; housed in a custom cardboard slipcase. Sackville-West's essay on nursery rhymes is equally serious and fun. She saw the writer of nursery rhymes as a poet-novelist, who as a "creator of characters, creator of situations, had a fine jugglery to play with. A vast population of Old Women and Little Men crept out of corners, sought in their cupboards, fired their little guns, wore cork legs which surprisingly sank in water, and found themselves in a variety of predicaments seldom equalled in life." The book is virtually as new in a clean bright dust jacket that has just a hint of tanning along the spine and a 1/8" closed tear at the head of the rear joint-fold and a corresponding 1/2" closed tear on the front joint-fold. The rare slipcase is rubbed & worn and has a red cloth tape repair along the backstrip.. First Edition. Hardcover. Collectible-Fine/Very Good +. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Book.
