Description: First edition, 1931. Hardback. 256pp. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. This volume from John Masefield contains principally his own versions of history, legend and fairy-tale. Adam, Penelope, Brutus of Troy, Tristan and Iseult, Dick Whittington and Henry the Eighth are names that show the variety of the subjects in time and actuality. The incidents chosen from their lives vary greatly in weight and significance and for each of them there is a different style and manner. The whole is of unfailing interest and by its adaptation to many moods is peculiarly rich in pleasure. Book in good condition. Very light spotting to endpapers. Internally quite clean and bright. Dust jacket good and unclipped. Generally rubbed and soiled. Some edge wear and a little loss to extremities of spine - especially top. Spine discoloured.
