Home Again With Me - 1908

This beautiful 1908 printing of Home Again with Me by beloved American poet James Whitcomb Riley captures the tender, nostalgic spirit that made his verse so deeply cherished. Known as the “Hoosier Poet,” Riley wrote lovingly of everyday life, simple joys, childhood wonder, and the ache of home remembered. This volume is especially remarkable for its elegant illustrated pages by Howard Chandler Christy, whose flowing figures and delicate scenes bring the poems to life with grace and movement.

This is the only available copy, now thoughtfully handcrafted into a one of a kind journal. Select pages of Riley’s poetry remain preserved among smooth, acid-free writing paper, allowing lines of verse and luminous artwork to accompany your own reflections. The gorgeously printed paper and carefully detailed illustrations make every page turn feel like stepping into a quiet moment of literary beauty from another era.

This journal is a meaningful gift for poetry lovers, artists, writers, collectors of illustrated books, and anyone drawn to sentimental verse and romantic turn-of-the-century design. It is perfect for journaling, letter writing, creative poetry, sketching, or memory keeping inspired by timeless words and images.

As with every Red Barn Collections journal, this piece carries the authentic character of its original 1908 printing and the careful craftsmanship that gives previously loved books new life.
