Maps. 8vo, illustrated card covers. "The lure of paradise was unmistakable, and Bill Butler was on a quest to find itwith his wife Simonne—riding the Pacific currents on their sloop Siboney, with a world of possibilities ahead. But, twelve hundred miles from land, the alluring ocean showed its deadly side when, without warning, a pod of pilot whales attacked their sailboat, battering it until it sank beneath the waves. The dazed couple was left drifting in midocean in a leaky six-foot raft meant for coastal waters, with only a few hastily grabbed provisions tosustain them. Simonne, who had never truly shared Bill's dream of circumna vigating the globe, blamed him bitterly for their desperate plight. In thispowerful account of their 66-day odyssey, Butler tells a gritty, harrowing tale of their battles against nature, despair, and their own demons. He re veals how he and Simonne found the strength to survive despite the ravages of hunger, storms, and sharks. Based on Butler's faithful log entries, 66 Days Adrift is both a chilling cautionary tale for sailors with big ideas and an inspiring story of love, faith, and survival against long odds." - from the back cover.

(YEATS, William Butler). SIDNELL, Michael J., George P. MAYHEW, and David R. CLARK (eds.). Druid Craft : The Writing of The Shadowy Waters. Manuscripts of W.B. Yeats transcribed, edited & with a commentary by [...]. Amherst :The University of Massachusetts Press, 1971. Pp [i]-xxiii,(1),[1]-349,(3). Illustrated. 8vo, brown cloth, silver lettering to spine. Manuscripts of W .B. Yeats, Volume I. “William Butler Yeats conceived The Shadowy Waters around 1883 when he was in his late teens some eighteen years before it was first published as a dramatic poem in 1900. It was not produced as a play until 1904. In this volume the editors bring together prepublication drafts ofthe unique play - until now dispersed and uncorrelated - which show the re visions Yeats made during those twenty some years. Even in this formative period when developing as poet and playwright, Yeats's interest in mythology, and his attempt to penetrate its meaning and to associate mythology and vision is evident." - from the dj. Very good in unclipped dustjacket. 35.00
