A fine example of the work from Little Oak Fine Bindings, each edition is unique and bound to the highest craftsmanship.

Yeats’ single most important collection of poems, containing “Sailing To Byzantium”, “Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen”, “Leda and the Swan”, “Among School Children” & “All Souls’ Night”, among other masterpieces. Yeats himself was very pleased with The Tower’s reception. He wrote his friend Lady Gregory that “Tower is receiving great favour.”

The beautiful image on the upper cover shows Thoor Ballylee reflected in the still water below it. The image suggests both Yeats’ poetic self-reflection & the meditative quality of his verse.
