Description: "Don Blanding is an American, living in Hawaii, although by
temperament he is a vagabond and wanderer in many climes. His earlier volumes
of verse have had wide appeal and a remarkable sale. In them there is
something of the lure of Kipling's 'Mandalay' and something of the fascination
of Service's 'Lady Lou.'
"The present volume contains many new poems and a selection from the best
already published in earlier books. Best known of all is the 'Vagabond's
House,' an ideal expression of that imaginary retreat which each man builds
and furnishes according to his heart's desire."
