About this Item

The First UK printing published by William Heinemann Ltd., London in 1926. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. Original publisher's blue boards with gilt titling. Light pushing at the spine ends. Offsetting to the end-papers and a little toning to the text-block and extreme page edges. Otherwise clean internally. The WRAPPER is complete and is in Very Good++ or better condition. Very light edge-wear with light toning to the spine. The blue lettering to the spine is slightly faded. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. The book has been signed in full (without dedication) by the author to the title page (underneath the Heinemann logo). This work contains a number of poems focused on London and a number of experiences in the city, such as 'Observations in Hyde Park', 'In the National Gallery', 'Evensong in Westminster Abbey' and 'In the Turner Rooms' et al. Siegfried Sassoon CBE (1886-1967) was an English poet, particularly renowned for his poetry written during the First World War, which brought him to public attention. He was awarded the Queen's Medal for Poetry in 1957; he had also received a Military Cross for rescuing a wounded soldier during the First World War. He later won acclaim for his prose work, notably his three-volume fictionalised autobiography, collectively known as the 'Sherston trilogy'. A very early work to find with the author's full signature, with only one such copy having appeared in auction in the last 20 years. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
