About This Item
Dodd, Mead & Company, 1953. Hardcover. Good/No DJ. 43rd printing. Mild shelfwear, yellowed page edges, stained boards. Gift inscription on FFEP. An extraordinarily popular collection of poems written in and about Hawaii. First published in 1928, the book went through two printings a year for many years, and Blanding became the most popular American poet of the period. Vagabond's House is an ideal expression of that imaginary retreat which each man builds and furnishes according to his heart's desires. 114 pages with illustrations by the author.
Reviews
On Jun 9 2016, a reader said:
This was my Father's favorite book and he shared it with me over 50 years ago. Long after he is gone I can still hear him read those words and feel the way Don Blanding brought his Vagabond's House alive. I am getting ready to share it with my Granddaughters and give them the same gift the book and my Dad gave me. The gift of poetry that touches your heart.
