Winter

This anthology gathers poems, novel extracts, memoirs, diaries, and letters on the subject of winter. Contributors range across centuries and include poets of frost and snow, novelists describing houses and weather, explorers noting ice and darkness, and diarists of Christmas or the farm year. The pieces are short and independent, with no frame story. Typical images are firelight, snowfall, bare trees, and the shortened day. The book is a seasonal commonplace collection, not a single long poem and not a treatise on climate.

Quarter bound in dark blue cloth with colour picture printed paper sides. Dark blue endpapers. Issued without slipcase or dust-jacket.
