Title: Poems Grave & Gay
Description: Isle Of Wight County Press, UK, 1945. First Paperback Edition, Softcover. Good Condition. 48 pages. FOREWORD. With one or two obvious exceptions these simple poems ?the work of idle moments?were written for the pleasure and amusement of Teresa Graboski?a little girl who, during the late war, came to Penzance with one of the London schools to escape the blitz. To the critically disposed I would say they are presented in this form, not because I claim for them any special merit?I am only too conscious of their imperfections?but merely as a tribute to the affability and bonhomie of this most likeable little girl, who it is my great pleasure to count as one of my young friends.
