Humoresque.

First edition, third impression of this collection of poetry showcasing Humbert Wolfe's characteristic blend of wit, elegance, and reflective irony, from the library of James Bond creator Ian Fleming. Octavo, original publisher's black cloth with paper titles to the spine. Ownership signature of the 17-18-year-old Ian Fleming dated 1926, giving a tantalizing insight into his literary tastes as a teenager. In fine condition. Housed in a custom black cloth clamshell box with gilt ruling and gilt titles to the spine and front panel. Rare and desirable.
