Another gift from my mother. An old copy of the famous Fitzgerald translation, now considered inaccurate by most scholars. But who cares. The poetry is is transcendental and Willy Pogany's illustrations have never been surpassed.
Read about your post while searching for Coral Princess - I actually remember your lovely daughter Jan and swimming with her in the ship's pool all those years ago. My dad used to work on the Coral Princess too! You live in Singapore now? Wow, time flies!

ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl...it all seems a long time ago like another life. You can find pictures of Jan aged 29 in my Dad's 90th birthday. Take care.
