Publisher: D. Lothrop and Company 1886 Approx. size: 6.75 x 4.25 inches Very scarce original. November out of a series of 11 other months edited by Mr. Adams. The glory Of Autumn has gone with October, and the soft haze of Indian Summer blurs the unfamiliar outlines of the leafless trees. In a few days the amber skies will turn to grey, fogs and mists will steal over the fields and the waters at morning and evening, and the nights will grow longer and colder. At last, almost before we know it, the threshold of winter will be past, and the retreating footprints of November will be lost in the early snows. Oscar Fay Adams was an American poet and editor. He edited various books, that include The Story of Jane Austen's Life (1896), The Archbishop's Unguarded Moment, and Other Stories (1899) and Dictionary of American Authors (1901). He edited Through the Year With the Poets (12 volumes, 1886). Half binding gold cloth spine with gold gilt lettering and wheat decoration. Extremely nice condition for the age. Some mild soiling to the covers and very slight bumped corners. Spotless but toned interior. Please see and enlarge photos and email with any questions prior to purchase. Thanks |
