SIGNED BY MACDONALD and inscribed in beautiful calligraphic script: "Barbara Bradshaw: / -who has so many "bees" in / her name that her life should be / sweet as honey. With best wishes, / Wilson MacDonald." From a Trent University biography: Wilson Pugsley MacDonald (1880-1967.) Born in Ontario, MacDonald made an early name for himself as a poet, pen-and-ink artist, and magician. Publishing a dozen books of mostly romantic, traditional verse, and in the 1920s and 1930s mounting frequent recital tours, he won for himself a considerable popularity among readers with a taste for his kind of verse. Unfortunately, he was a man of great vanity, egotism, and an irascible temper, which eventually alienated most of his erstwhile friends. 175 pages; 5 x 7.5 inches.
