The Captive Shrew and other Poems of a Biologist. 1947 reprint of a book first published in 1932. \"In these days of specialisms and trade union restrictions,\" writes the author, \"it may be that an apology is expected from a scientist who ventures to write verses... As to publishing my verses, I have no apology handy: to wish to publish what one has written is just a frailty which scientists share with other human organisms.\" Ex-library, with stamps on ffep, fore edge, title page and last page of text. Library sticker on dustjacket and tape on spine. Some spotting to fore edge, otherwise very good.
