C. S. LEWIS. — Dymer. A poem.

J. M. Dent, London, 1st Edition, First edition thus, a reprint of the author's lengthy pseudonymous poem which was originally published in 1926, and is here accompanied by his new seven-page introduction. 8vo. xv, 104pp. Red cloth lettered in gold at the spine and with the publisher's red top edge stain. The fore edge and free endpapers spotted, and with a little further quite light spotting to a dozen preliminary leaves. A very good copy in toned, spotted and lightly rubbed non-price-clipped dust wrapper. Lewis' narrative poem was originally printed under his 'Clive Hamilton' pseudonym. "At its original appearance in 1926, Dymer, like many better books, found some good reviews and almost no readers. The idea of disturbing its repose in the grave now comes from its publishers, not from me, but I have a reason for wishing to be present at the exhumation. Nearly a quarter of a century has gone since I wrote it, and in that time many things have changed both within me and round me; my old poem might be misunderstood by those who now read it for the first time" - from Lewis' introduction., Very Good, Very Good
