PROSAIC PROVERBS. 1991.

Little Sparta: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1991

10.5 x 7.2cm, 12pp plus wrappers and printed dust jacket. Four “proverbs” by Finlay are illustrated with drawings by Kathleen Lindsley.


“The poor fisherman counts his diamonds” for instance depends on the drawing to explain the diamonds is a metaphor for silver-backed fish.
Very good condition apart from some rust on staples. Murray has this as 1992 but the book has 1991.
