The Canary and Other Poems.

£40 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

Dust jacket browned and unevenly faded, with segments missing that do not affect printing. Inner wrapper and text in an exceptionally fine and fresh state. Very good copy. Fenton is described on the title page as “late chaplain at Poona, Bombay; recently chaplain at San Remo Italy” and it may be fair to speculate that this is a bit of vanity publishing - at first glance the lyrics are conventional and twee.
