About This Item
Dodd, Mead & Company, 1928 Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. NF/G Book is in Near Fine condition, slight fading on the blue and metallic silver hardcover, cover corners and pages in mint condition. Inscribed by author. Presumed first edition, 24th printing. DJ is blue, black, and yellow, slightly faded at front and spine. Corners and edges of spine are chipped, three inch tear at top of front cover and one inch tear at bottom. This book of poems and beautiful illustrations come straight from the pen of a bohemian wanderer, perched temporarily in Hawaii... "How long? How hard? How fine? How heavy or light the load? If it's half as good as the half I've known here's hail!. . . to the rest of the road!" .

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.
