This production of Borrow's English translations from old Welsh & celtic texts inspired by "Thomas J Wise, Bibliophile, Bibliographer & Good Borrovian" .... an interesting printed credit-reference to the infamous collectibles fraudster (prior to exposure, of course), and whose own works are now themselves highly sought after. Text on fine textured paper is lifted by red ink titling, sub-titles & enlarged initials throughout (suggestive of old celtic manuscripts). Welsh Poems & Ballads (George Borrow 1915 HB)
