Buy this book on-line EDWARD THOMAS : In Pursuit of Spring. With six tipped-in colour plates by Ernest Hazelhurst [i.e. Ernest Haslehust] with captioned tissue protectorsThomas Nelson, London, 1914
First Edition, first state. 8vo. 301pp. Blue vertically ribbed cloth, gilt lettered at the spine and with a double-blue border, repeated on the upper board with a small gilt ornament. Top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Map-illustrated endpapers. The six plates are correctly signed 'E.W.Haslehust' but the artist's name is spelt incorrectly on the List of Illustrations page (seemingly a common occurrence with Haslehust contributions). Just a touch of darkening to the cloth at the board extremities, and a little light wear to the spine ends and corner tips. A single tiny area of surface abrasion to the head of the front free endpaper. A lovely crisp copy, lacking the fugitive dust wrapper. An account of February 1913 bicycle tour from London to the Quantock Hills; and significantly the book which convinced Robert Frost that Thomas was in fact a poet, upon finishing it Frost urged his friend to turn his attention henceforth to verse.
