These are four plays in verse form -- "At the Hawk's Well," "The Only Jealousy of Emer," "The Dreaming of the Bones" and "Calvary." This is a handsomely-produced volume. The elaborate binding design, reproduced on the jacket, is by T. Sturge Moore (so initialed), and the volume also includes seven illustrations by Edmund Dulac for "At the Hawk's Well." This volume is in fine condition; the jacket is very good-plus, with minor edge-wear. Wade 130.
