About This Item

Newtown, Powys: Gwasg Gregynog, 1987. Limited Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. PARKER Rev John 1798-1860. VG+, Ltd ed, 8 pls. Bound by James Brockman and Desmond Shaw in grey Fabriano Roma hand made paper boards, gold rule, stained transparent vellum spine, device in gold on upper cover, top edge gilt, titled in gold on the spine. 191 pp, 8 pls, folio, 297*180 mm. In its slip case. A superb production with some lovely plates. Drawn on ten centuries of Welsh, Latin and English literature, this anthology ranges from the oldest traditions about Arthur to the autobiography of a hill farmers wife published in 1979. From Giraldus Cambrensis' reaction to Snowdonia in 1188 to that of the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. In between come the heroics of the Princes, the pioneer naturalists, Pennant and the early travellers, the great English romantic poets, the first climbers, artists like Augustus John and John Piper, writers like Edward Thomas and Robert Graves, TH Parry-Williams and RS Thomas. Fabulous and uncommon! (See Esslemont/Hughes Gwasg Gregynog for further information)
