The Open Road

A charming early edition of E.V. Lucas's classic anthology for wayfarers, featuring poetry and prose celebrating the English countryside. Beautifully bound in green cloth with gilt-stamped swallows designed by William Hyde. This copy is a lovely example of Edwardian book design, though priced to reflect some internal pencil markings.
