À propos de Hudston Books

Books, periodicals, printed ephemera: interesting, competitively-priced, accurately described. Previously on AbeBooks as an offshoot of the small independent publisher Agre Books, named after "the thicket-searcher Agre" (pictured above) in George Chapman's Hymnus in Cynthiam (1594). Here a pack of hounds fall "to howling in their happinesse: / As when a flocke of school-boyes... gets leave to sport, / And then like toyle-freed deare, in headlong sort / With shouts, and shrieks, they hurrey from the schoole..." But as no one was ever sure how to spell or pronounce Agre, with some regret that hound's name has been retired. However - while stocks last - you can expect a few copies of old Agre titles to be among the many things listed here, with some Chapman too. (Chapman had the necessary humorous spirit for an AbeBooks seller: "I rest as resolute as Seneca, satisfying my selfe if but a few, if one, or if none like it".)
