Dobson mixes short essays with light verse for the book lover. He writes about volumes and their associations, the satire of Bramston’s Man of Taste, a French observer of English arts, Maria Edgeworth’s Parent’s Assistant, and the illustrators Kate Greenaway and Hugh Thomson, with rhymes such as a passionate printer’s love song between the papers.
A graceful miscellany from a master of the eighteenth-century byway, made for bibliophiles. Download the free EPUB.
