A well-thumbed and slightly shabby notebook containing amended copies of 22 poems written between November 1923 and February 1924, shortly before Audens 17th birthday. 10 of the poems were already known in different versions, but the notebook also contains 12 hitherto unknown poems that were subsequently printed in the WH Auden Society Newsletter and the Times Literary Supplement
