Robert Frost. First edition, first printing (stated). New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1947. The unclipped dust jacket, is in Very Good+ condition with some fading around the front edges. Has the original price $2.50 still intact on inside flap. Hardcover is also in Very Good+ condition with a small sticker and former owner signature on flyleaf. Otherwise, no other markings or writing found in the book, 39 pp.

Robert Frost's experiment in blank verse play in which Biblical characters in modern settings discuss ethics and man's relation to God.

A sequel of sorts to the earlier work "A Masque of Reason"-exploring the relationship between man and God-and directly about man's attitude toward God-and thus the masque. A truly great collectible copy.
