Jean Ingelow was an English nineteenth century poet, novelist, and children"s author who began her literary career as a young girl, publishing poems in periodicals as a girl, under the pseudonym 'Orris', and later anonymously. Many of her long narrative poems were written in blank verse, with themes of Christian faith and romantic love relayed with a tenderness of emotion. Her work was widely read during her lifetime, and she was known for her charitable "copyright dinners," in which she hosted her poorer neighbors for dinners paid for with the profits from her books. In a green cloth binding. Externally very smart. Some mild wear to extremities. Slight rubbing and bumping to head and tail of spine. Hinges slightly strained but firm. Internally firmly bound. Pages slightly age toned with the odd spot, heavier to first and last few pages. Ink inscription to half title and ink stamp to title page. Very Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GEN9-E-33
