Lays and Lyrics

by Morgan Hawkes

W. K. Thomas & Co., 1900, hardcover

Good Condition, some edge and shelf wear, some rubbing and bumping to edges and corners, some soiling and marking to covers, previous owners’ inscriptions to front and back endpapers and introduction page (See photographs)

“It was one of Fortune’s whims that Morgan Hawkes, whom Nature had endowed with the heart of a poet, should live his life as a businessman.  It was only at odd moments that he found time to write the stories which, under his own name, or his non-de-plume (Heron Shaw), have given pleasure to so many readers.”
