Granville Barker","description":"\u003cp\u003eA charming and increasingly collectible Edwardian literary volume, Prunella or Love in a Dutch Garden was published in London in 1906 by A. H. Bullen and written by Laurence Housman and H. Granville Barker. This copy is especially appealing as an inscribed presentation copy, adding a personal layer of history beyond an ordinary reading copy.\u003cbr\u003eBound in a quiet taupe-brown cloth with a simple, understated spine, the book carries the softened character collectors love in early 20th-century editions. The title page retains its pictorial charm, and the interior shows the gentle age one expects of a book from this period, including foxing, toning, and scattered discoloration. It is a handsome object for a decorative library, a garden-room shelf, or a collection of Edwardian drama and illustrated books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEra: Edwardian, 1906\u003cbr\u003eTitle: Prunella or Love in a Dutch Garden\u003cbr\u003eAuthors: Laurence Housman and H.
