The Poetical Works of S. T. Coleridge (1881)

1891 reprint from Riverside Press and Houghton, Mifflin, and Company. Many impressed illustrative designs throughout. A classic poem set in the Middle Ages about a knight who decides not to seek the Holy Grail. Though set in Middle Ages, it anachronistically describes American landscapes. There is some staining on the cover and on several pages some signature annotations on the front pages in pencil. Pages are slightly browning. Spine has some shelf wear and fading. Binding is in ok condition. The gold gilding on and around the cover is still quite good and barely shows any wear at all. Some very small tears on a few inner pages. Collectible poetry and illustrations from the 19th century.

The Vision of Sir Launfal (1891, Reprint)

1888 Thomas Y. Crowell Company Publishers. Shelf wear on the cover, including some fraying, discoloration, and slight showing of boards. Still in good condition overall. The pages have some pencil and pen underlines and marginalia in the introduction and the inside of the back cover. Only some sparse annotations in the volume. Binding is in pretty good condition considering its age. Good collector’s item of a 19th century published anthology of Wordsworth’s works

The Poetical Works of Wordsworth (Oxford University Press Edition, 1918)

Scott Gustafson

From nonsense to lessons learned, these 45 rhymes include the very well known (Itsy Bitsy Spider) and the somewhat familiar (Hickety, Pickety, My Black Hen). The truly fantastic pictures speak more than a thousand words as artist Scott Gustafson riffs in paint on themes present and imagined in each verse.

Nursery rhymes are classic, and so are some of the artist's interpretations. But other paintings are surprises, like an anthropomorphic baking bear, a pelican sea captain, and Peter Piper as a pug on two legs. Welcome to a world where "There Was a Crooked Man" is not about a hunchbacked senior but rather a madcap, double-jointed dandy who might be "crooked" in more ways than one. Jack (Be Nimble) is a leaping cricket and Yankee Doodle a fun-loving chipmunk on a fullsize horse.

Scott Gustafson's unique style, influenced by legendary book illustrators Arthur Rackham and N. C. Wyeth, makes this a volume to be treasured by children and illustrated-book lovers of all ages.

Heavy Hardcover (2 to 4 lbs)

From nonsense to lessons learned, these 45 rhymes include Mother Goose favourites including Itsy Bitsy Spider, The Queen of Hearts, Ride a Cock Horse, and more, illustrated in detail by Scott Gustafson.
