Item description from seller

First edition, first impression, presentation copy. This charming collection of poems is inscribed twice by the author on recto and verso of the first blank: "A. M. Montgomery. With the Author's love. Feb. 22nd, 1904", [and] "To A. M. M. Lady take these verses which I now present as a humble groper to my President. K. M. L". Loudon's work is scarce in commerce, and only 6 copies are recorded by WorldCat worldwide. Loudon (1869-1954) was a prolific writer and compiler of prose and legends. She was an active volunteer during the First World War as listed on the French Red Cross medal roll, having served with the Scottish Women's Hospital as an administrator at Royaumont Abbey (1 June 1915-20 December 1916) and in the canteen unit at Favresse (8 November 1918-23 December 1918). The recipient remains elusive. National Archives, ref. WO 372/23/25567. Octavo. Original green buckram, spine lettered in gilt, front cover with gilt device, edges uncut, dark brown surface-paper endpapers. A touch of rubbing, spine slightly sunned, a few small black marks on front cover, small abrasion on half-title, two leaves roughly opened with minor loss at top edge (C5-6). A very good copy.
