A Book Of Delights: An Anthology Of Words And Pictures. HADFIELD, JOHN (COMPILER.
6411X3 First Edition. Arrowhead Books, New York: 1954. 256 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand New Copy. The keynote of this book is pleasure - in the widest and deepest sense. From awakening to falling asleep, from birth to death, through the pleasures of the senses, through the often conflicting claims of 'being' and 'doing', and through the supreme experiences of love, the editor traces the life-line of delight. He illustrates its course with passages from writers as far apart as Plato and Ogden Nash, and works of art and nature as various as paintings by Rembrandt and Graham Sutherland, and photographs of stars, stalactites, or a Rolls-Royce engine. Includes full-color illustrations and an Index. $16.00USD Click here to order or message the dealer
