Melodies
[Privately printed for the author at the] Chiswick Press, 1912.

Introduced by a mutual friend, the writer Edmund Blunden, Silk and Sassoon became and stayed fast friends, united by a love of literature and a mutual devotion to cricket.
PROVENANCE: Dennis Silk (1931-2019), one of Sassoon's closest friends in later life, his bookplate to front pastedown.
