1911. London: Sidgwick & Jackson, Limited, 1911.

8vo, 88 pp. Original navy cloth over boards, paper label to backstrip lightly toned and worn, slight bumps to corners, a few light scuffs to cloth. Very good.

§ First edition. One of 500 copies printed of Brooke's first commercially-published book, preceded by several rare pamphlets. The volume opens with the prophetic sonnet "Oh! Death will find me, long before I tire / Of watching you; and swing me suddenly / Into the shade and loneliness and mire / Of the last land!".
