Hi everyone,
Here are my last acquisitions of the last couple of months.
Some early academic publications :
- The Book of Fairy Poetry, Longmans, 1920, featuring Goblin's feet
- Essays and studies Vol. XIV, 1929 featuring Tolkien’s essay Ancrene Wisse and Hali Meiðhad. The book lacks its dust jacket but is in exceptional condition.
- 3 Very rare '66 reprints of Medium Aevum by Wm Dawson & Sons London (vol 1 - 1932, vol 2 - 1933, vol 3 - 1934). Vol 1 and 3 featuring Tolkien’s essay Sigelwara land. Some very nice little things in those volume otherwise (Essay on Pearl by E.V. Gordon, review of E.V. Gordon's The saga of Hrolf Kraki by G. Turville-Petre, among others)
