The Golden Present, A Gift for All Seasons

128 pp. 4 1/2 x 3. "The editor writes in the Preface: 'I have been gleaning through the fields of poetry and sentiment. I have gathered golden ears from sheafs of thought and feeling, and caught the choicest notes of songster and philosopher and have twined them in a bright wreath, I send it forth upon its mission to charm the eye and heart of Beauty. Go forth, little book!" The table of contents, comprising three pages, lists topics such as: Solitude, Romance and Reality, Awakening, Kisses etc. The entries combine prose and verse. A casual glance at the entries suggest that they are replete with coping mechanisms - including daydreaming - for a constricted - both physically and emotionally - life."
