Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition. True first impression of the first edition - casebound issue. The book was also published in paperback format. ***Signed by the author's children in black fountain pen ink: Felicity ?, Noel Dods, Monica Blewett and Michael Gilbert on the title-page,… with an explanatory note to the front free endpaper by the book's owner in black fountain pen: 'The signatures on the title page are of Bernard Gilbert's children, all of whom were present in Billinghay Church 7. Dec. 91 when a reading of "Eldorado" was given, preceded by Michael Gilbert talking briefly about his father and his work.' ***Selected, edited, and introduced by Patrick O'Shaughnessy. ***Black and white line drawings in the text by Jenny Reynish. Calligraphy on the cover by Elizabeth Paul. The cover drawing of Lincoln Cathedral is by John Blundy. ***Fine in tan cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine. Pages clean. No foxing. Spine tight. ***In a near fine brown printed and illustrated white dustwrapper. Dustwrapper very slightly rubbed (being a white background). 72 pages including three-page glossary of Lincolnshire dialect to the rear. 216mm x 140mm. ***'Although this small book is a collection from Bernard Gilbert's poetry written in the Lincolnshire dialect, it is not difficult, even for the non-dialect speaking reader, to find the cadence and meaning. Indeed the dialect enhances the earthy quality that Gilbert was expressing. Had it been otherwise he would not have used the dialect form for he was perfectly fluent in non-dialect English. ***As a commentary on the feelings rather than the facts of life in the Lincolnshire fens in the early years of this century, it can hardly be surpassed. Bernard Gilbert was a poet in the fens and of the fens and, as a shrewd observer of life in that unique corner of England, which had then hardly left the feudal system of a much earlier time, he passes comment without fear or favour. ***The editor, Patrick O'Shaughnessy came to Lincolnshire with the army in 1944, and has both adopted and been adopted by the county ever since. As a poet in his own right (though not in dialect), and both a collector and editor of Lincolnshire folk songs, he has contributed considerably to the heritage of Lincolnshire tradition and values.' ***Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb. ***First edition, and the scarcer hardbound issue, in its original dustwrapper. An uncommon book, and uniquely signed by the author's children. ***Of interest to academics and collectors of first edition poetry titles on Lincolnshire dialect and to Lincolnshire local historians. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Jenny Reynish (illustrator). Signed by Author's children.
