A. M. E. The Princess & The Shepherd (signed w/ ALS)
A. M. E. The Princess and the Shepherd: A Muse's Experiment in English Rhyme. London: Thynne & Co. 1931. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s green cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the scarce dust jacket. This copy inscribed by the author to a J. D. Wainwright, with a brief note by the author to tracing paper, folded and loosely inserted. A very good copy, the gilt to upper spine presumably touched up. The binding tight and square, the contents clean and bright throughout. The dust jacket not priced, several small nicks, chips and creases to the corners, spine tips and some edges, some light stains, darkening to spine, closed tears, with ink annotation to the front panel blurb.
A scarce volume from this mysterious muse; we cannot identify the author, and the note loosely inserted certainly affirms his intended silence: “As the author seeks, however feebly, the pure service of God, he desires to remain anonymous.” The work consists of five long poems in couplets, concerning nature, love, and the Christian faith. Scarce in jacket, more so inscribed.
