London: Constable & Co Ltd., 1938. First edition, first printing. This is a near fine copy. Lacking the dust jacket. The green cloths boards are sharp, and the gilt titling immaculate. The text blocks are clean, but with some spotting to the top edge. Siegfried Sassoon’s posthumous library label is pasted to the front pastedown. His ownership initials, dated May 1938, are present in black ink, also on the front pastedown.

This is a near fine copy with fine ownership marks. de la Mare, published with Sassoon in Eddie Marsh’s ‘Georgian Poetry’, was one of the presiding influences of the younger poet’s life and career; in a letter following his death, in 1956, Sassoon remembered de la Mare as ‘so wonderful and so beautifully ordinary also, like most really great people’ - insisting that ‘one can’t measure what he has meant for me’.…
