Co-published with The Fleece Press. The book is titled While
Daddy's Away at the War: Poems and Pictures Sent to his Daughters
by Douglas Percy Bliss. When DPB went away to do his wartime
service, he made for each of his daughters Prudence and Rosalind a
little album of handwritten poems by authors such as Walter de la
Mare, Robert Louis Stevenson and Frances Cornford, every poem
illustrated delightfully with wit and humour. There are about 66
poems (some of them clearly Bliss favourites but not now as well
known as they really should be), and Douglas' images; these will
all be reproduced in a facsimile volume, with 4 tipped-in
illustrations and a short letterpress introduction by the ladies
for whom the anthologies were created in 1941 and 1945.
