One of 500 copies printed of Brooke's first commercially-produced book, preceded by several rare pamphlets. Among the best known of the cadre of Great War poets, Brooke composed verses that seemed, in their tone of dread and fear, to foreshadow his own early death. Bound in navy cloth over boards with paper label to spine showing light sunning, mild bumps to corners, else near fine. (Keynes 5).
