This is a an extremely handsome production which originally sold at £250.

Masefield became Britains Poet Laureate in 1930 and received the Order of Merit in 1935. 'August 1914' is a moving poem of the First World War. 'Reynard the Fox' is a verse-tale set in the rural world of Masefield's childhood. The Tern Press was started in 1973 by Nicholas and Mary Parry. 'In 'Matrix 5', Parry stated: 'Our initial aims were to relate each subject to a relative set of materials. to think of the book as an overall work of art, rather like an opera, with a body (stage - props - paper - binding), intellect (thoughts - words - libretto), and feelings (music - color - prints), to try, as in all art, to produce a form that lives and breathes. Thus our books are not conceived, designed, produced through process, but are perceived, arranged and produced through craft.' (The Tern Press official website). A very scarce title. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact. More images available on request. Parry, Nicholas (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).
