Songs of the Groves: Records of the Ancient World. [By Victor B. Neuburg] (Steyning: the Vine Press.) 7s. 6d.

     

The (twenty-one) poems in this volume owe much to the classics, for they touch on Bacchus and Venus, Philomel and Diana, on Plato, Pythagorus and Horace (the last is a stately chant royal). The format of the book, of which only 550 copies have been printed, is ingenious.
