The long waited for book of poems by H. |
Hayden Sands. the poet Of Haydensvile, Mass.
is at last emerging from the press. 1t is called
THE Valley of Dreams and it was all ready /

discovered some imperfections in the bound /

press of T. \. FOULS Edinburgh, and Alfred /
Bartlett, Boston. The illustrations are by Adolfo
de- Nesti, the illustrator of d'Annunzio's works.
