Orchard Songs.

£40 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

Signed by the author. Nelson amusingly summarises Orchard Songs as “a mediocre little book of verse about glow-worms, nightingales, first kisses, budding orchards and babies” and notes that its “aura” is captured in Kay’s title-page design “with its patterns of brick wall, pool and flowers, fruit and leaves woven together by sinuous tendrils and branches”. Nelson, 1893.24/65. Seeney, A15. A very good copy.
