Buy this book on-line MARY KENT RIVERS : Folk Rhymes of the Great WarArthur H.Stockwell, London [c.1925]., 1925
First Edition (first printing). Slim 8vo. 31pp. Textured purple cloth with gilt lettering and a blind-stamped border to the upper board. The backstrip ends a little rubbed and worn, and the cloth there faded with a little further uneven fading to the margins of the boards. Some light spotting to the endpapers and title leaf, and the binding a little tender at one gathering. Quite a nice, bright copy of a most uncommon book, which comprises fifteen chronologically ordered poems spanning 1914-1919, split into three sections: 'Portents 1914', 'Home' and 'France and Flanders'. Rather than folk rhymes, I believe these to be original poems, but the work is not noted by Reilly and I can find only two references to either the author or the book: a note in a 7 August 1925 issue of 'The Argus', and a passing reference in an article in the December 1928 issue of 'The Musical Times'..
