The Winding Stair and Other Poems. London: Macmillan, 1933. Second Impression. Pp ix, 101. Olive green cloth boards, decorated in blind on front cover, with gilt design and title on spine. Neat ownership inscription to endpaper, otherwise a nice bright copy.

The title poem was originally published by Fountain Press (New York) in a signed limited edition, in 1929. The title refers to the staircase in the Thoor Ballylee castle which Yeats had purchased and lived in with his family for some time. The cover designed by Thomas Sturge Moore was Yeats’s personal favourite.

The first impression was published in September 1933.
