Violet Nicholson (1865-1904) otherwise known as Adela Florence Nicolson was an English poet who wrote under the pseudonym Laurence Hope. Her poems often used imagery and symbols from poets of the North-West Frontier of India and the Sufi poets of Persia. She was among the popular romantic poets of the Edwardian era. COLL1912AFJN

This book far exceeded my expectations! It’s in the most pristine condition of any of the old books that I own. Robins Rare Books is amazing. Always a great value, very well packaged, quick shipping and always as described. I am a repeat customer and will always check listing from this seller first when I’m in the market for an antiquarian book.

This arrived safely and it was well packaged. This is exactly as described and it included a thank you on a postcard. This was well thought out and the seller knows how to handle and ship rare books. This was worth more than it was sold for, in my opinion, and I greatly appreciate doing business with this person.
