FROST, Robert. A BOY'S WILL with AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT STANZA. New York: 
Henry Holt, 1915. First Edition. Second State of Frost's first book with 
correct spelling on page 14. This copy is SIGNED by the poet on the 
front endpaper and dated June 1926. Frost has also written out the first 
stanza of the last poem in the book, "Reluctance": "Out through the 
fields and the woods/And over the walls I have wended/I have climbed the 
hills of view/And looked at the world and descended/I have come by the 
highway home/And lo it is ended." Fine, early example of a Frost 
manuscript in a book. The tips of the spine are lightly worn with the 
gilt lettering on the spine faded but readable. Very Good or better, 
lacking the dustwrapper, as customary. (#015076)        $3,500.00
