Reprint of Daevid's first volume of poetry.

Originally published in 1964. 21 choice early bits, including the first appearance of 'Captain Shaw and Mr Gilbert'.

Daevid initially gave copies to all his friends to illustrate, à la Sun Ra - the band illustrating their own LP sleeves. The copy we have used for this re-print has a drawing by Gilli's then young daughter Tasmin on the cover.
