Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Illustrated Edition. An especially interesting provenance and ephemera copy, originating from the library of C. H. Young of Anderson, South Carolina, whose typed ownership label, reading "C. H. Young / Anderson / S.C.", remains affixed to the decorative marbled front pastedown. Of part…icular interest is an original Kelly Morris Combined Circus "Circus Daddy" child-admission sponsorship ticket dated September 14, 1954, found laid into and preserved with the volume. The original ticket will remain with the book and is included in the sale. The vintage ticket is numbered 1943 and prominently reads "KELLY MORRIS COMBINED CIRCUS — ADMIT ONE CHILD." Its unusual charitable purpose is explained at the top of the ticket: purchase of the ticket would make the purchaser a "Circus Daddy" to a child who otherwise would not be able to see the circus. The ticket advertises trained horses, dogs and ponies, acrobats, clowns, and Kelly Morris trained elephants. It is machine-stamped SEP 14 1954 and states an estimated price of 50¢, with an unused ticket to be considered a donation. The ticket is a particularly evocative example of mid-20th-century American circus and charitable sponsorship ephemera, documenting a program through which an adult could purchase admission for a child who otherwise might not have been able to attend. The presence of the dated circus ticket within a book bearing the C. H. Young, Anderson, South Carolina ownership label creates an intriguing historical association and provides tangible evidence of the volume's life beyond its printed text. The ticket appears to have been deliberately retained within the book for many decades. The volume itself is an attractive period anthology bringing together many of the best-known poems of the English-language tradition. Numerous selections are accompanied by small photographic or engraved portraits of their authors. Notable selections include John McCrae's "In Flanders Fields," Alan Seeger's "I Have a Rendezvous with Death," Alfred Tennyson's "Charge of the Light Brigade," Rudyard Kipling's "Recessional," James Whitcomb Riley's "Knee-Deep in June," Ralph Waldo Emerson's "The Rhodora," and Ella Wheeler Wilcox's "Solitude." The prose supplement extends the volume beyond poetry and includes historical, patriotic, moral, and literary material, including the Magna Charta and Patrick Henry's "The War Inevitable, March, 1775." An especially interesting period passage offers parents a series of questions to consider when selecting books for children, providing a revealing glimpse into early-20th-century attitudes toward children's literature, morality, authority, and education. The book is bound in an attractive dark flexible hardcover with an elaborate embossed decorative front-board design, incorporating a stylized floral/Arts-and-Crafts or Art-Nouveau-influenced motif surrounding the title. Decorative marbled endpapers further enhance the period appearance. CONDITION Good. Exterior shows expected age and use, including rubbing, surface wear, discoloration and wear to edges, corners and extremities. The elaborate embossed front-board decoration remains attractive and well defined, with title lettering still clearly visible. Decorative marbled endpapers remain present. The front pastedown retains the original typed C. H. Young / Anderson / S.C. ownership label. The September 14, 1954 Kelly Morris Combined Circus ticket shows light age wear, minor creasing/edge wear and faint pencil or handling marks, but remains complete, highly legible and visually appealing. A compelling copy combining an attractive 1929 illustrated poetry anthology, identifiable Anderson, South Carolina private-library provenance, and an original piece of 1954 American circus and charitable ephemera. The Kelly Morris Combined Circus ticket pictured was found laid into this copy and WILL REMAIN WITH THE BOOK.

Contact seller5-star sellerWraps. Condition: Good. [4], 186, [2], pages. 4.5 x 8.25 x .4 inches dimensions. Illustrations. Index of Authors. Small front edge tear to first two pages. Cover has some wear and soiling. Fully indexed by title, author, and first line, this much-loved collection, in print since 1916, is a wide-ranging collection of the best-kno…wn English language poets, from William Shakespeare to Robert Frost, from Percy Bysshe Shelley to Edna St. Vincent Millay. From Preface - This is the age of science, of steel--of speed and the cement road. The age of hard faces and hard highways. Science and steel demand the medium of prose. Speed requires only the look--the gesture. What need then, for poetry? Great need! There are souls, in these noise-tired times, that turn aside into unfrequented lanes, where the deep woods have harbored the fragrances of many a blossoming season. Here the light, filtering through perfect forms, arranges itself in lovely patterns for those who perceive beauty. It is the purpose of this little volume to enrich, ennoble, encourage. And for man, who has learned to love convenience, it is hardly larger than his concealing pocket. While not the first edition, this is an increasing rare early revised edition. This treasury of beloved poems collects all your favorite poets in one book. Whether you're looking for a love poem or something to mend a broken heart, perhaps you're feeling patriotic or struggling to understand the nature of man, the timeless words of Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, John Milton, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti are at your fingertips. From the Romantic poets like Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats to the Transcendentalists like Ralph Waldo Emerson, this comprehensive collection contains examples of the many periods of writing from England to Scotland and on to the United States. Included are such favorites as: Walt Whitman's O Captain! My Captain!; Eugene Field's Little Boy Blue; Percy Bysshe Shelley's To a Skylark; Joyce Kilmer's Trees; Robert Burns' Letter to a Young Friend; Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Paul Revere's Ride; Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven; Three indices let you find your favorite poems by title, author, and first line. Revised Edition. Presumed first printing thus.
