An inscribed presentation copy of this privately published posthumous collection of poems by Rupert Buxton (1900-1921), with a memoir of his life by his friend the historian Arthur Bryant (1899-1985), who knew Buxton from their days at Harrow School.

Buxton tragically drowned with his close-friend Michael Llewelyn Davies (1900-1921), the foster son of J.M. Barrie and one of the original inspirations for Peter Pan and the 'Lost Boys', whilst swimming near Oxford in 1921.
