Eva, Ernest G W.
Poems Grave & Gay.
Isle of Wight County Press, 1945, "FOREWORD. With one or two obvious exceptions these simple poems -the work of idle moments-were written for the pleasure and amusement of Teresa Graboski-a little girl who, during the late war, came to Penzance with one of the London schools to escape the blitz. To the critically disposed I would say they are presented in this form, not because I claim for them any special merit-I am only too conscious of their imperfections-but merely as a tribute to the affability and bonhomie of this most likeable little girl, who it is my great pleasure to count as one of my young friends.
