About This Item

Edinburgh and London: William Blackwood and Sons, 1912. Hardcover. Good. 12mo 7" - 7. Moira O'Neill" was the pseudonym of Agnes Shakespear Higginson (1864–1955), an Irish-Canadian poet who wrote ballads and other verse inspired by County Antrim, Ireland where she lived at Cushendun. Her Wikipedia entry says that, in 1895, "she and her husband Walter Skrine lived on a 16,500 acre ranch in Alberta. But they returned to Ireland and were, in 1921, burned out of their mansion Ballyrankin House near Bunclody." O'Neill also used the name Nesta. Songs of the Glens of Antrim was first published in 1900 and then More Songs of the Glens of Antrim followed in 1921. A perfectly serviceable reference copy; nothing fancy, but complete and sturdy. Green linen cloth over covers, sharp gilt lettering to front cover and spine, blind-stamped design to both front cover and spine. Beveled boards, a bit sunned along the edges, lightly scuffed and discolored at spine head. Dealer stamp, neatly affixed, inside rear flap at bottom, and lightly foxed at first free endpaper, else clean and unmarked. Rough-cut fore- and bottom-edges. 61 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
