In the Forest of Arden

Author: Mabie, Hamilton Wright; Low, Will H. (Illust.)
Title: In the Forest of Arden
Publication: New York: Dodd, Mead and Company, 1906

Description: Hardcover. "Winter after winter, before the study fire, we had made merry plans for this trip into the magical forest; we had discussed the best methods of travelling where no roads led; we had enjoyed in anticipation the surmises of our neighbours concering our unexplained absence, and the delightful mystery which would always linger about us when we had returned..." Escape, as famed figures from Shakespeare, Tolkien, and English legend and lore have done for centuries past, into the Forest of Arden through the lushly decorated pages of this 1906 fable. Follow the narrator and his fair Rosalind into the wood, where they befriend Nature and are forever changed by the timeless and ancient, sublime and subversive, utopian and earthly Forest of Arden, here beautifully presented not only in word, but in each page's decorative border and 4 plate illustrations by Will Hicok Low (1853-1932).

8 5/8" X 5 7/8". 124pp. Bound in sage green cloth over boards, with three towering oaks stamped in black over a bright gilt background, with acorn motif below, with oak leaves to spine, lettered in black. Mild wear to binding, with some rubbing to corners, light fraying to head and tail of spine, and faint dimming to spine. Hint of spine at center of text block; binding is sound. Previous owner's name to front free endpaper, and faint foxing to verso of frontispiece, else pages are clean and unmarked. Decorative border to every page. Illustrated in frontispiece and 3 plates by Will H. Low. Very good.
