Notes
A scarce, privately-printed collection of juvenilia written between the ages of 8 and 15, containing some nature poetry, two odes on school property and an earnest schoolchild wish for the eternal perdition of Rupert Brooke. It is accompanied by 8 attractive colour linocut illustrations within the text: 3 by Whiteman, 3 by Rose Parris, the wife of Hampermill Press founder Robert Parris, and 2 further anonymous illustrations. Library Hub records just a single copy, at the BL.
