A STORY IN VERSE GLYNNE’S WIFE, BY JULIA DITTO YOUNG, AUTHOR OF “Thistle Down,” “Adrift: a Story of Niagara,” etc. Mrs. Young is a poet who has written much but published little. This, her latest and believed by her friends to be her best work, is the product of a mind and heart singularly gifted by Nature, and ripened by a long apprenticeship to Art. As a specimen of the pure “lyric cry,” illustrating the melody possible in the English tongue, the volume seems to stand alone among all the books written by modern versifiers. Five hundred and ninety copies are being printed on smooth Holland hand-made paper, and twenty-five on Tokio Vellum paper. Bound in boards and antique silk; the Vellum copies will have on various pages special water-color designs done by the hand of the author. Every copy will be numbered and signed by Mrs. Young. Price on Holland paper, $2.00; Vellum, $5.00.
