AUTHORS AND FRIENDS by ANNIE FIELDS



'"The Company of the Leaf" wore laurel chaplets "whose lusty green may
not appaired be." They represent the brave and steadfast of all ages,
the great knights and champions, the constant lovers and pure women of
past and present times.'

Keping beautie fresh and greene
For there nis storme that ne may hem deface.

GEOFFREY CHAUCER.
