HARDY, Thomas. Yuletide in a Younger World. New York: Edwin Rudge. 1927.
12mo. Original cream wrapper with lettering printed in black to front, stapled; pp. [vi]; fine.
First US edition, one of only twenty seven copies. An extremely rare printing of Hardy's characteristically melancholy and lovely meditation on a child's view of Christmas. It was originally published in the UK as an Ariel poem and received this tiny US printing to ensure copyright in that territory. Only twelve copies were ever offered for sale.
