A two-in-one Pocket Book featuring brother and sister Rossetti. Read Dante Gabriel from one cover and flip over to read Christina to the other; she gets the centre-fold.
Ruskin described Dante Gabriel as "not really an Englishman, but a great Italian tormented in the Inferno of London"; born in 1828 he is probably better known as a painter and illustrator but he also wrote poetry. Six of his poems are printed here, including Silent Noon, Ardour And Memory and A Little While. He died in 1882.
Younger sister Christina was born in 1830, an accomplished and successful writer she penned the popular Christmas carol In the Bleak Midwinter. She died in 1894. 11 of her poems are featured within this Pocket Book, including Long, Remember and The Thread of Life.
The Rossetti's
Publication Essentials
Pocket-sized at 13 x 9.5cm (5 x 3.5" in old money) and comprising 16 pages with a firm card cover. This little volume is just one in the series of Carr's Pocket Books; they hover between a greeting and a present and make a lasting alternative to a birthday card. In cold bedrooms, only one hand need suffer exposure. A distinguished novelist recommends them for reading in the bath and an ambassador claims they can be palmed from the cuff during tedious speeches or profitless sermons.Delivery Information
