First impression of the true first edition. ***Fine in red cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine. No inscriptions. No foxing. Paper bright and clean. Spine tight. In a near fine colour illustrated dustwrapper that has not been price-clipped, showing original publisher's price of £10.95 net. No tears. Spine slightly faded. Front and rear panels of dustwrapper bright. ***66 pages. 224mm x 142mm. *** 'Some of the poems in this new collection by Vernon Scannell, who is now in his seventieth year, explore with sometimes surprising and always illuminating results aspects of growing old. The candour, wit and formal versatility that readers have over the years come to expect from him are more impressive than ever in these moving and sometimes funny poems, whether they deal with childhood experiences, love in its various manifestations or the many faces of the changing world we inhabit. The range of both subject matter and treatment is wide and includes satire, narrative, dramatic monologue and lyrics of great delicacy and freshness.' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***'Vernon Scannell is one of the most accomplished, entertaining and widely-read poets writing in Britain today. 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). ***'In his Times review of Scannell's Funeral Games, Robert Nye wrote of his 'embattled tenderness--- a poetry that celebrates ordinariness without becoming banal'. To these qualities may be added an unsentimental and resonant note of acceptance of the joys and perplexities of human existence and what A. E. Houseman called 'the sadness of the universe' (Quote from inside 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 # 3501
