Lyrics From The Beggar's Opera - John Gay

Store

Oxfam Online Shop

Probably printed in the first quarter of the 20th century, this miniature book contains the lyrics to the Beggar's Opera, a selection of the best lyrics from 'Polly' and three songs from 'Acis and Galatea' together with a brief memoir of Gay's life. This book is a pocket-sized edition. There is no dust jacket but a leather cover which is a little worn. The binding covers thick endpapers. Pages are lightly tanned and thumbed at the edges, with creased corners. Spine and binding are a little overworked but sound in general. A lovely little copy.
