I have a very precious 1939 copy of this anthology which my father carried with him during WW2 through Palestine, Egypt, Italy and Europe. It was specifically designed for this purpose and is printed on very light paper. It is sub-titled 'A Pocket book of Prose and Verse' and in his introduction Herbert Read says 'During the last war, as a soldier on active service, I was very conscious of the need of a book which I could carry with me as part of my kit and which would suit the various moods and circumstances of my unsettled exitence.'
