Known to readers as “Q,” Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch was a novelist, poet, essayist and one of the most influential literary anthologists of his day. This selection of his prose and verse offers an inviting introduction to the range of his writing, with its polished style, keen observation and affection for the people and landscape of Cornwall.
Still rewarding today, Q’s work speaks to readers who value lively, carefully made prose and the discoveries that come from revisiting a writer whose voice deserves to be heard again.
The anthology was edited by Frederick Brittain and first published in 1948; Quiller-Couch was also a Cambridge professor and editor of the influential Oxford Book of English Verse.
This is a first edition. It is in good condition with some slight foxing. Includes dustjacket which has some very slight tears.
