FROST, Robert. ON A TREE FALLEN ACROSS THE ROAD (TO HEAR US TALK). Spiral Press, New York, 1949.

Price: US$562.50 + shipping

Condition: Fine

Description: Printed wraps. Crane B21: 3060 total copies printed, this one of 225 with Frost's own imprint. INSCRIBED but not signed by Frost on the title page: "To the Hockings wherever they are/meditating the wrong Muse." Richard Hocking seems to have been an acquaintance of Frost's during the 1920s and 1930s, having graduated from Harvard in 1928 and earning a Master's there shortly after. When inscribing Christmas greetings, Frost would often not sign his inscription, or at the most simply initial it.
