London: Faber, 1938

Small 8vo, pp. 128. Original red boards, lettered in silver to spine. Printed dustwrapper. Boards a little rubbed and marked, offsetting to endpapers, small contemporary (1941) ownership signature to ffep., a very good copy in a very good price-clipped dustwrapper, darkened at spine, and with a small unobtrusive stain to front panel (which probably had something to do with the marking of the boards).

First edition. One of 4080 copies. No US edition was issued.

A selection made by Auden himself, and the earliest Auden collection.
