THE SPRINGTIDE OF LIFE: POEMS OF CHILDHOOD

First edition, first printing with these illustrations. Publisher's original green cloth with gilt titles and illustration to the upper board and spine, in dustwrapper. An excellent near fine copy, the binding clean and square with a bump at the top of the spine. The contents are entirely complete and without inscriptions or stamps. All 8 full-page colour plates with tissue guards and 52 black and white illustrations throughout the text are present as called for and in fine condition. Complete with the original dustwrapper which is a little rubbed and nicked with a few short closed tears and associated creasing at the spine tips. An attractive example.
