ORION A MISCELLANY
All four volumes of this excellent, if short-lived, anthology. The editors were Rosamund Lehmann, Edwin Muir, Denys Kilham Roberts and C. Day Lewis. From The Editor's Foreword in the first volume: "Orion aims to publish good writing, creative and critical, in prose and verse. It is attached to no group of movement. "Only the first volume has a dust jacket - somewhat grubby but quite presentable. The first one is also slightly smaller in format. All are in very nice condition with some of the best writers of the time represented.
