A handsomely bound copy of Adela Florence Nicolson's [pseud. Laurence Hope] (1865-1904) popular collection of verse, first published in 1901. The 1914 Christmas edition of the Bookman reviewed the work favourably: 'An eastern splendour of imagery, the mysticism, the sensuousness, the esoteric vision of the east shine and breathe and brood through all the poems in the book'.
