About This Item
London: George Allen & Unwin Ltd,, 1923. First edition, first impression, number 10 of 50 copies signed by the author. Although a printed statement notes that the edition is limited to 750 copies, an errata slip is tipped in stating "This edition is limited to 750 copies, of which 50 are signed by the author". The dust jacket price has been changed by hand. The poet and children's author Lady Margaret Sackville (1881-1963) was a second cousin to Vita Sackville-West. She began writing poems at an early age and at sixteen became a protégé of Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, publishing her first collection, Floral Symphony, in 1900. She was made the first president of the Poetry Society in 1912. She had a 15 year love affair with Ramsay MacDonald during and after the First World War. Octavo. Original light brown cloth, spine and front cover lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Slight browning to endpapers, minor split to front hinge; a fine copy. Spine of dust jacket slightly toned and with minor abrasions, jacket short, small nicks to spine tips; a very good example.
