Description:
Whittington, London: The Whittington Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1973. Limited/Numbered Signed Edition. Hardcover.

Small spotting to pages 24, 25, 55.; Largely a witty memoir of John St. John's time with the British Royal Marines in European theaters of World War II.

Light toning to the very edges of the boards, common to this edition.; A selection of verse fragments from John Greenleaf Whittier's classic Snow-Bound : A Winter Idyl. Printer Tommy Tommasini chose fragments that described scenes that the family in this narrative poem would have witnessed. Whittier's poem, in total, describes a family's conversations inside a snowed-in New England farmhouse.

His works in this book are sympathetic to the verse fragments and are boldly styled. One of an unnumbered,… Read More
