About This Item
Hardcover, published by Houghton Mifflin, 1895. No dust jacket. 232 pages with Index. Known for her poetry focused on her beloved Isle of Shoals, as well as for the essay 'A Memorable Murder', and 'An Island Garden', this is a collection of the author's letters to a variety of correspondents. Green cloth covered boards, with the author name and title on the spine in gold. Lettering on the spine is very clear. Boards have a few dots of edge wear at the head and heel of the spine and at the tips of the corners. Lower right corner is slightly bumped. There is a circular mark on the front board - most likely made by the condensation of a glass place on the book. Four photo plates of the author. Gold gilt top edge is just slightly worn. The edges of the text are relatively clean. Not clearly apparent which edition this is, though there is a note on one of the front flyleaf pages - 'This is a copy from the first edition of this book' - so it is most likely an early reprint. Attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory.
