The text is complimented by 8 cartoons drawn by Max Beerbohm. The editors of this hilarious anthology write: \"It would seem at a hasty glance that to make an anthology of Bad Verse is on the whole a simple matter . . . On the contrary . . . Bad Verse has its canons, like Good Verse. There is bad Bad Verse and good Bad Verse. It has been the constant preoccupation of the compilers to include in this book chiefly good Bad Verse.\" Here indeed one finds the best of the worst of the greatest poets of the English language, by Dryden, Wordsworth, and Keats, among many others, together with an index .Green/grey boards with gilt lettering to spine. No DJ. Illustrated endpapers with dedication to front-paste down dated 1950. Minor foxing but text block good and text clear and unmarked. 264pp
