About This Item
Hardback. Good/Very Good. Cave, Estella. John Murray, London, 1933, first edition; small quarto, pp 115; green paper boards and spine, slightly discoloured under the dustwrapper which is itself slightly frayed at the edges, but still a good to very good copy. As the dust wrapper comments "For many years Lady Cave has taken a special interest in the high character and domestic virtues of the ant. She has acquired much quaint information about them, and her enthusiasm has impelled some of her friends to break out at her behest into (often most unaccustomed) verse. Prime Ministers and Professors, Men of Business and Men of Leisure, all contribute to this very real ant-hology." Contributors include Rudyard Kipling, Julian Huxley, Beverley Nichols, James Barrie, Owen Seaman, Stanley Baldwin, Laurence Housman, Baden-Powell and Humbert Wolfe. Estella Cave was the wife of George, later Viscount Cave, a lawyer and a Conservative MP, Home Secretary under Lloyd-George and also Lord Chancellor.
