Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good+. First Edition. 79 pages; Contents clean and secure in attractive original binding of green cloth spine over gold and tan patterned boards with printed paper title labels at spine and front board, with monochrome illustrations from drawings by the author and a beautiful colour frontispiece by Katharine Pyle. Fifty-two poems largely relating to nature and fairies. "Aunt Sadie" Sarah Maria Phelps Stokes (1869-1943), Baroness Halkett was a daughter of Anson Phelps Stokes. She married Baron Halkett in 1890, and divorced in 1902. Sarah may have had tuberculosis; she built a large cottage, possibly as a cure cottage, at 16 View Street in 1903, and became a recluse. There is no mention in the Stokes Records that the couple had had any children. Sarah Stokes Halkett wrote three books of children's verses, Aunt Sadie's Rhymes, published in 1916 and Beyond the Mountain, published in 1917, and Elf King's Flowers, published in 1924. "Baroness Halkett, daughter of Anson Phelps Stokes, the New York multi-millionaire, who recently secured a divorce from her husband on the ground of extreme cruelty (physical abuse), intends to sue for the setting aside of the millions settled upon Baron Halkett at the time of the marriage. Behind this announcement is a story that Baroness Halkett's suit will simply be the first of a series which in the end will include members of the nobility in nearly every country in Europe, who have married rich American girls, secured enormous dowries, and then by systematic abuse, amounting in many instances to downright brutality, have compelled them to seek relief in the divorce courts, while they held on to the American dollars without the encumbrance of an American wife. Usually they accomplish this result within a couple of years of marriage.".
