Synopsis
This Rubaiyat was translated by Edward Fitzgerald. Most people are familiar with Edward Fitzgerald's translation, but what they do not know is that he actually translated the Rubaiyat five times over a period of many years towards the end of the 1800s. So CEM laid out all five editions in a row on her living room carpet, and, stanza by stanza, line by line, word by word, tried to choose Fitzgerald's Best (never done before). Her mother spent a whole year, painstaking with her beautiful Calligraphy. Many people in the past have Illustrated the Rubaiyat. This Editor put what she considered the most beautiful Edmund Dulac together with the finest Willy Pogany all in one book, (also never done before). This is a Trade Paperback of the original leather bound collectors Limited Edition that sold for $1,600 a copy.

About the Author
Broadening her roles of wife, mother of three, and President of Cemac Limited, Cecile Mactaggart decided to try editing The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, followed by an Anthology A Scrapbook for Sandy. Emboldened by results which somewhat mitigated her terror of Writing, she then authored A Book of Shells. All three are now being released to the public through her latest Business Venture, Cemac Publishing.
