Ogden Nash Collection | Set of 6 Ogden Nash Books by Little Brown | 1960s | Maurice Sendak Cover Art | Vintage Poetry | Bixley Shop

This boxed set of Ogden Nash Books was published by Little Brown & Company likely in the 1960s. The original sleeve for this set is missing, but the books are in terrific shape!

I'm a Stranger Here Myself, 1938
Good Intentions, 1942
Many Long Years Ago, 1945
Versus, 1949
The Private Dining Room, 1953
You Can't Get There From Here, 1957
