Item description from seller

Small 8vo. Hardcover. Pp. 89. First Edition. In very good condition, with minor shelf-wear to the dust-jacket such as small marks and slight creasing top and bottom of spine. Black cloth boards also in good condition with minor scuffs and corners still sharp. Pages themselves are clean and unmarked. Previous owner's bookplate on front end-paper. Some mjnor creases in the corner of some pages but no significant marks or creasing.

Robert Graves was an English poet, historical novelist and critic. His father was Alfred Perceval Graves, a celebrated Irish poet and figure in the Gaelic revival; they were both Celticists and students of Irish mythology. Graves produced more than 140 works in his lifetime.…
