Thread Name: Songbooks: Missing C. Fox Smith Books?
Subject: Missing C. Fox Smith Books?
The working anthology of Cicely Fox Smith poems is now over 370 poems, as posted on: click here for website
However, neither Shantyfreak nor myself have access to two of her earlier poety books: SONGS OF A GREATER BRITAIN (1899) and WINGS OF THE MORNING (1904). Does anyone have a copy of either of these books? We've never run across them on the used books websites.
A copy of WINGS OF THE MORNING is reported to be in the Plymouth library naval reference collection.
We did manage to get a photocopy of another early poetry book, THE FOREMOST TRAIL (1899), from Nobby Dye of Bristol and that was very interesting and helpful.
We would very much like to complete our work and would appreciate any leads.
