About This Item
Toronto: McC Lelland & Stewart, 1918. Presumed First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 7 3/8" X 4 3/4. Author (Cover & spine design). Introduction by Albert E. Smythe. " Who is Wilson MacDonald? Only the records of palingenesis can reveal that secret, but I fancy that he has wandered from the lost Etruscan paradise and brought with him many of the arts and mysteries that glorified that ancient people. The Keltic life burns in his blood, and he is Canadian through four generations: Cheapside and Woodstock and Toronto and Vancouver have fostered him. . . . . . . This book concerns his poetry and of that something should be said." 144 pp. 42 poems. Last poem: Peace, last line: "Who gave the peace we know." Toronto, November 11th, 1918. Green cloth covered boards have pastedowns on spine and front. Spine ends are slightly scuffed. Brown paper DJ is unclipped and carries advertising for other books on both flaps and rear panel. DJ has some chipping and closed tears. Digital images available on request. Bookseller's Inventory # 133431.

About Lower Beverley Better Books
An online bookstore that just grew from a combination of a love of books, a desire to save them from landfill and an inability to bypass yard sales. A considerable percentage of my inventory is signed editions. I also take pride in my Canadiana catalogue.
