From Laurie Lee’s library, his prepared copy of his friend’s book of poetry, readied for live performance of these Cotswold poems. This is the first illustrated edition, bound in ochre buckram covered boards with a near very good jacket. Lee who wrote the foreword for the volume has used paperclips and labelled paper tabs to define the poems in the volume that he would read, together with a couple of stage directions to himself - ‘repeat’ and a typed continuity note to help him move from one poem to the next. Mansell and Lee were staunch friends: Lee praises him as a ‘natural poet’ in his foreword; Mansell returns the compliment in his introduction. A lovely association copy.
