String Too Short To Be Saved

Donald Hall - Signed First Edition

Published by Andre Deutsch LONDON, 1962

About this Item

This has a signed and dedicated inscription on the title page; "For Frida & Roger September 27, 1968 Donald Hall". It also has, on the facing page, an owner name. Apart from these marks there are no annotations and the text block is clean. This wonderful book of recollections by a great poet still enchants the reader. While youth is celebrated, as it should be, Donald Hall has a sad and shrewd way of recording the passage of time, without succumbing to sentimentality. A gorgeous book from a wonderful thoughtful poet. This is the first hardback English edition from Andre Deutsch in London, and it has a protected unclipped jacket. The text block is firm but the edges are embrowned. The jacket has not aged well, but is not chipped or torn. Just a bit scruffy and slightly foxed! A wise and wonderful book.
