Morton's rare second book: he was to become the ultimate comic journalist "Beachcomber" and although he is no Beerbohm, these parodies of Marsh's Georgian Poetry are cheerfully competent, while never quite burying his own voice: "My sorrow that I, With the ever-singing birds Of yellow-haired Aengus About my path, Cannot do this sort of thing Like Yeats." Spine a bit darkened and worn, a few splashmarks on the cover, with Christopher Hassall's pencil note that it was a gift from Rupert Hart-Davis.
