The binding is pebbled green boards with a white spine and gold lettering. The title pages are decorated with Art Nouveau illustrations of roses and entwined foliage.

It was made to be taken somewhere — that is what miniature books are for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Waverley Press produced these little volumes in the early 1900s, when the idea of a pocket classic was entirely serious. Poetry was not yet something that needed an occasion. You could carry Keats with you on an ordinary day and nobody thought it remarkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe sonnets inside are Keats at his most concentrated. Fourteen lines at a time, each one a small completed world.
