ICELANDIC SPRING

by Dorothy Una Ratcliffe

Illustrated by Barbara Arnason

Published by The Bodley Head. 1st. 1950

Slightly better than very good condition in a good dustwrapper. A collection of exhilarating impressions of Iceland jotted down during late spring of 1948 and summer of 1949. Black boards with silver title to spine and silver vignette of two horses to front board. Endpapers show maps of Iceland. B/w illustrations. 128 pages.

Spine and corners are bumped. Uneven fading to boards. Some pages are unopened along the top edge. Contents are clean. Original glassine wrapper is wrinkled and edge worn with loss. The paper flaps are browned and a bit ragged at the edges. A nice copy of a scarce book. This copy would make a wonderful gift.
