Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition, Illustrated Edition. John Masefield was an author - a very fine writer. Many knew him only as a poet; and indeed he was - a great one, and he was appointed as Poet Laureate for England, in which post he served longer than all but one other Poet Laureate : Tennyson. Masefield's production was creatively prolific. He produced, not only poetry, but essays, plays and novels for both adults and children. His writing is particularly rich, his poems memorable , and his prose sonorous. "King Cole" is a dramatic poem - a play in verse form. This excellent and engaging drama tells a story about a circus troupe struggling in the English countryside, based around the ancient legend of Good King Cole; and of how the folk in the story meet and are affected by King Cole. It seems, at least to me, that King Cole shares attributes of both The Green Man and Pan. "Old King Cole was a merry old soul - and a merry old soul was he -" The book is illustrated with the lovely art of Masefield's daughter, Judith Masefield.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Here are two wonderful long, but edifying, poems by England's Poet Laureate, John Masefield. "Dauber" was first issued in 1912; and "Reynard the Fox" was issued in 1919. This 1963 edition marks the First American edition of both poems, bound into one volume. Many readers knew Masefield only as a poet; and indeed he was - a very fine one, and he was appointed as Poet Laureate for England, in which post he served longer than all but one other Poet Laureate : Tennyson. Masefield was prolific. He produced, not only poetry, but essays, plays and novels for both adults and children. His writing is particularly rich, his poems memorable , and his prose sonorous. "Dauber" is, in John Masefield's own words, "the story of a young man who wished to paint ships and the sea, and therefore shipped himself to sea that he might know these, and perhaps, in a few long voyages, earn enough money to pay for training in an art-school." It sounds like an adventure, and so it was; but it was a tragedy also. Masefield's verse telling of the story is wonderful and evocative, and marks him as the fine poet - storyteller that he was. "Reynard the Fox" is an age-old story, and has been much retold. Masefield gives an entirely fresh feel to the story. It was inspired by watching fox hunts when he was a lad; observing the fox - how it often escaped - and was often caught. What whiles it used to elude the hounds; and with what valor it all too often had to defend its life. If you read only one long poem this week - this year - read this. You won't regret it!

Condizione: NEAR FINE. Early printing. Although Masefield is also known for his novels, his children's books and his non-fiction, it was his poems - mostly long ballads, including many inspired by the sea, where he spent several years as a boy and young man - that first brought him success. His Collected Poems, first published in 1923, sold an astonishing 80,000 copies (wikipedia) which makes it remarkable that so few copies are available now. In 1930, he was appointed Poet Laureate in England, a position he held until his death in 1967. This volume includes a brief introduction by Masefield, Salt-Water Ballads, The Widow in the Bye Street, Daffodil Fields and more. vi, 446 pp. Near fine in brown cloth over a beige spine with gilt lettering (previous owner's name) in a good only dust jacket (a long, thin strip was torn from the front cover of the dust jacket, although it is still present and protected by an archival cover Original price of 3.00 in lower corner of dj flap).
