Description

First of what was intended to be a series of themed books under the Harvest title, each on a single subject and "forming a symposium, with illustrations, drawings and painting, of permanent and entertaining value". The series made it to volume two - the household. This travel volume is well produced and indeed entertaining, with a short story, The Weird Journey, from Mervyn Peake alongside literary contributions from Roy Campbell, Vita Sackville-West and others, and art from numerous hands (all reproduced in mono), including Ravilious, Minton and Piper. All in VG, clean and bright internal order. A little light wear and bumping to black cloth, with gilt titling to spine. 4to. 67pp
