Tony and Penny Mills (designers), Irish Verse. Bath: Tara, 1999.
Small format (14.5 x 11 cm), hard cover, dust wrapper, 58 pages, illustrations.
Very good condition.
Irish Verse, designed by Tony Mills and Penny Mills and published by Tara in 1999, appears to belong to the couples series of finely produced miniature-style literary gift books, combining short anthologised texts with illustrations and decorative design. Contemporary listings for related titles by the Millses describe similarly compact hardcovers published by Tara, often focused on themed quotations, blessings, or literary selections. This edition of Irish Verse, presented in a small-format hardcover with dust wrapper and illustrations across 58 pages, is best understood as an intimate and attractively designed celebration of Irish poetry - a keepsake volume intended as much for browsing and gift-giving as for formal study, reflecting the lyrical richness, wit, melancholy, and storytelling traditions associated with Irish verse.
