Score. 4to, pp. [iv], 15, [1]. Original grey wrappers, lettered and decorated in black and silver.

Dealer Notes
Radclyffe Hall (1880-1943) first found notice and popularity as a poet, publishing five collections, before turning their hand to novels (when they also dropped ‘Marguerite’). This First Sheaf comprises: ‘Hands and Lips,’ ‘Our Little Love is Newly Born,’ ‘You're Just as Pretty as the Day,’ ‘Butterfly,’ ‘Gentle Dame Priscilla,’ and ‘You, Dear, and I’, reprinted from Hall’s first two collections, ‘Twixt Earth and Stars (1906) and A Sheaf of Verses (1908).
