About This Item
New York: Horizon Press, 1963. 8vo size clothbound hardcover with dust jacket; 356 pages From jacket: "Sir Herbert Read has here woven the two major parts of Annals of Innocence and Experience together with an equal amount of material which has never been published before... The volume is divided into four parts: The Innocent Eye... A War Diary... The Falcon and the Dove... A Dearth of Wild Flowers... Sir Herbert Read's life has been a full and varied one. Any personal record from a man who has played such an important part in the world of art and letters is bound to be of great interest...the author speaks also as a representative of the generation whose life has been fractured into three parts by two world wars, one which has seen greater and more violent change during its lifetime that any previous one had known, and a longer history of change than any younger generation yet knows." Some light soil and wear to dust jacket, small abrasion on fep where sticker was removed. Thanks for shopping with us. 100% of your purchase benefits charity and supports literacy and life-long learning.. First. Cloth. Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
