Under Helicon: Journeys in the Mediterranean

First edition, first impression.  100pp, with plentiful illustrations, mostly in colour.  Burgundy cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine.  Grey endpapers.  8vo.  Cloth a little pushed in at base of spine, and a small white dot mark on the upper panel.  Internally neat, clean, bright and tight.  In its original glossy dust jacket, not price clipped, a little bumped at edges, with a tiny chip on the upper edges, a little sunned over the spine.

A well illustrated collection of poetry and prose expressing the strange spirit of the Mediterranean, recorded as Penelope Tremayne searches for ‘the star-sown islands of our dreams.
