Eliot at his most playful
ELIOT, T.S. Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. London: Faber And Faber Limited. 1939.
Square 8vo. Original yellow cloth with red pictorial stamping to upper cover, preserved in yellow pictorial wrapper; pp. [vi], 7-46; price-clipped wrapper with two brown marks to front and small area of browning to back, otherwise near fine, extremely clean.
First edition of this important work, one of the best-known volumes of twentieth century poetry and probably Eliot's most popular. Only 3005 copies were printed and it is extremely difficult to find in such beautiful condition.
