1650 1st ed Thomas Bayly Herba Parietis Wall-Flower Newgate Prison Romance FOLIO
A rare, first edition of Thomas Bayly's 'Herba Parietis' – a fascinating romance novel written while Bayly was imprisoned. A few of his writings offended the English authorities which landed him in Newgate prison. This 1650 first edition, printed in folio, features an impressive full-page frontispiece engraving of Newgate Prison, where Bayly was held. This famous Holden edition is quite popular and extremely rare.
The story itself describes the Roman exiles in 6th-century northern Africa. It is curious though, the title has little to nothing to do with the content of this work, and is often thought to be titled as such to bring Bayly hope or good cheer while in prison.

MP3 Audio CD. Oh! Where do the Fairies Hide Their Heads OH! where do fairies hide their heads When snow lies on the hills, When frost has spoil’d their mossy beds, And crystalliz’d their rills? Beneath the moon they cannot trip In circles o’er the plain; And draughts of dew they cannot sip Till green leaves come again. Perhaps, in small, blue diving-bells, They plunge beneath the waves, Inhabiting the wreathed shells That lie in coral caves; Perhaps, in red Vesuvius, Carousals they maintain; And cheer their little spirits thus, Till green leaves come again. When they return there will be mirth, And music in the air, And fairy wings upon the earth, And mischief everywhere. The maids, to keep the elves aloof, Will bar the doors in vain; No key-hole will be fairy-proof, When green leaves come again.
