Excerpt from Chimneysmoke: Illustrated by Thomas Fogarty

There are a number of poems in this collection that have not previously appeared in book form. But, as a few readers may discern, many of the verses are reprinted from Songs for a Little H oase The Rocking Horse (1919) and Hide and Seek There is also one piece revived from the judicious obscurity of an early escapade, The Eighth Sin, published in Oxford in 1912, It is on Mr. Thomas Fogarty's delightful and sympathetic drawings that this book rests its real claim to be considered a new venture. To Mr. F ogarty, and to Mr. George H. Doran, whose constant kindness and generosity contradict all the traditions about publishers and minor poets, the author expresses his permanent gratitude.
