Limited edition number 318. Signed 'V. Sackville West' to the front endpaper. Beautiful cloth binding with intricate floral title border embossed to the front. Untrimmed text block. Pages are clean with floral illustrations to the title page and season partitions. Contains Sackville-West's interesting verse with much rhyme. A long poem written at Long Barn and a vital testament to her gardening passion. The first poem is a dedication to Katherine Drummond, subsequent pieces explore acrobatic metaphors such as 'would that my pen like a blue bayonet'. She quotes Eliot's epochal lines at the beginning of 'Spring' adding to an ironcially non-modernist creation and Bloomsbury-era monument of Vivaldi-inspired description. pp.134. Very good overall. A scarce signed copy.
