Book Description
Flansham, Sussex: The Pear Tree Press, 1909.. Small quarto. Folded, cut sheets, stabbed for sewing but not bound. Rather foxed and darkened at edges and outer sheet, but a good copy, most likely made up of remainder sheets. First edition of this verse play, dedicated to Edward Thomas. There is no stated limitation; however, Eckert, in citing this title's relevance to Thomas, records the edition consisted of one hundred ordinary copies, and twenty with the illustrations hand colored. Not in Tomkinson or Ridler. Cited by Ransom, but without information re: limitation. This is a variant, with the frontis being a tipped-in offset printing of the woodcut, rather than an original impression. Formerly in the library of James Stephens. ECKERT, p.279. RANSOM 13.
