Description: A Dish of Apples is a poetry collection celebrating the seasonal and pastoral, with a particular emphasis on the fruits of harvesttime. Phillpotts (1861-1960) was an English novelist, poetry, and dramatist known for his Dartmoor cycle and the novel Widecombe Fair. Fred Gettings sees the painting-like illustrations in this book as evidence of Rackham’s maturing style, although readers will still delight in his mischievous elves and fairies amongst bucolic scenery. Phillpotts wrote of Rackham’s illustrations: “I am immensely pleased at the charm & originality of your most attractive drawings. The humor of them especially drew me” Please see photos. Everything is accounted for, books just been through a lot. Staining and wear to boards, foxing throughout, spine has started to split but book is still intact. Original owner’s inscription dated 1929.
