Scenes and Shadows of Days Departed A Narrative Poems of Youth and Some other Poems of Melancholy and Fancy in the Journey of Life from Youth to Age

A very scarce Pickering first containing Lisle Bowles's semi-autobiographical poetry. The road 'from youth to age' (as Bowles puts it) is fraught with nostalgia; indeed, the author embraces and exmaines the subject through a wealth of poignant and aesthetic poetry inspired by the scenes and places visited throughout his life. With half title, page of critical notes, and page of publications by the same author. Rebound in cloth. Generally smart, lightly rubbed in places. Pebble-blue publisher's cloth with paper label. Light bumping to corners of boards, top edge of board. Internally, very firmly bound. Very bright and clean throughout with just some spotting to preliminaries and frontispiece. Bookplate of Bermnard Warrington to front pastedown. Very Good Indeed.
