(Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***'Vernon Scannell is one of the most accomplished, entertaining and widely-read poets writing in Britain today. At the age of sixty-six, as a former war-time soldier, professional boxer and regular broadcaster on radio and T.V., he calls upon an unusually wide range of experience for the subject matter of his poetry.' (Quote from inside of rear of dustwrapper blurb). ***'During the last three decades he has certainly written some of the most moving and brilliantly accurate poems.' Guardian (Quote from rear of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the true first edition in its original dustwrapper in very nice condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 3500
