FRASER, Marjorie Frost. FRANCONIA. (New York): The Spiral Press, 1936. First edition. 37 pp. Slim 8vo., buckram spine with printed paper label, brightly colored, decorated paper boards. Just about a fine copy with a little darkening to the spine. The poet was Robert Frost's youngest daughter who died in 1934, shortly after the birth of her first child; Frost had this collection privately printed two years later.

Hardcover. Etat : About Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. Limited Edition. Limited (Only) printing, published posthumously by her father Robert Frost 2 years after her tragic death from perpetual fever 6 weeks after childbirth, just a year after her marriage to Willard Fraser. Near Fine in the publishers glassine dust wrapper. Also included is a very nice original photo of the author, which was likely included with the book upon publication by her father Robert Frost. An example worthy of any Frost or Franconia, NH collection. I collect both so the price may seem high to the casual collector. A distant great-uncle of mine sold Robert Frost the land in Franconia that was to become one of his homes for many decades. It is now a summer Poet-in-residence tourist attraction there.
