A. W. S. (ARNOLD WILLIAM SMITH) The Isle of Mistorak and Other PoemsGeorge Allen & Unwin Ltd., London, 1926; First UK Edition; 55pp; VERY GOOD+ hardcover in GOOD+ dust jacket, protected by clear new archival plastic sleeve. Dust jacket is darkended, light edge wear. Fore- and bottom edge uncut. Text clean, binding tight. Hard to find. 'The author has taken a story outlined in Mandeville's Travels, and, keeping the medieval atmosphere of enchantment, has created in the central figure a character of deep psychological interest. A critic has stated his opinion that the poem is morbid in the sense that it is inspired by a complex, not by the normal urge of life--it is the turmoil of a backwater invaded by the tide; but it is a musical turmoil, and it makes a picture. It is, essentially, a sincere and beautiful expression of passionate feeling.'
