Classical BooksApologies for the (Summer) break in transmission.

Normal service is now being resumed (now the Cropredy washing has been completed).

A collection of classical music books is being added to eBay (just follow the link from the bar to your right) over the next few days (there is still some rock and pop material also being added).

Irish Fairy Tales – W.B. Yeats

Irish Fairy Tales I

We recently came across a rare and interesting copy of Irish Fairy Tales edited with an introduction by W.B. Yeats and illustrated by his brother, Jack B. Yeats.

This was published by T. Fisher Unwin (London and Leipsic) and is an undated 4th impression (it was first published in 1892, and is uncommon in any state).

Some work has been needed to get this into a presentable state.  We have had a new spine added (with the original spine re-stuck onto this) and new endpapers have been added making the book look and feel very nice indeed.  The work has been professionally undertaken by Teasdale Bookbinders of Corwen.

There is some age-related foxing and spotting throughout the book, but nothing too detrimental to one’s enjoyment of it.
