Paperback. Penguin Poets series. An anthology of poetry about animals, introduced and edited by George MacBeth, bringing together verse exploring the animal world and the relationship between humans and other creatures. Features a distinctive illustrated wraparound cover reproducing details from *The Peaceable Kingdom* by Edward Hicks, with the original six-shilling price printed on the front. **Condition: Good.** Original illustrated paperback covers retain their colours but show extensive fine surface scratches, rubbing, light creasing and wear to edges and corners, particularly along the lower edge and spine. Photographed interior pages are heavily age-toned, with occasional spotting, but remain legible. Spine condition, binding firmness and completeness have not been fully checked. Please see photographs. An attractive vintage Penguin poetry anthology, of interest to collectors of animal literature, twentieth-century poetry and illustrated Penguin paperbacks.…
