A Masque Of Reason
by
Robert Frost
Published in 1945 by the Henry Holt Company. Both book and dust jacket are in very good condition. Slight rubbing and a few small nicks to dust jacket. This is a verse drama, published on the occasion of Frost's 70th birthday. Seldom seen in such a fine dust jacket.

“Too long I've owed you this apology
For the apparently unmeaning sorrow
You were afflicted with in those old days.
