Spring

This seasonal anthology collects short poems and prose extracts about spring: thaw, birdsong, flooding rivers, spring-cleaning, and the return of growth after winter. Pieces range from Romantic lyrics and nature essays to passages from novels, diaries, and exploration writing. Typical subjects are gardens, weather, and the mixture of hope and unease that the season raises. There is no continuous argument or plot. The book is a thematic sampler meant to be read in sittings, not a monograph on natural history and not a single author's spring journal.

Quarter bound in green cloth with colour picture printed paper sides. Green endpapers. Issued without slipcase or dust-jacket.
