16mo. (iv), 41pp. Title device of a "Monoceros de astris" by T. Sturge Moore. The device's first appearance was in 1915, in W. B. Yeats's Reveries Over Childhood and Youth. Here it is in one of the Press's latest books. By 1941, Yeats had died, as had his sister (and the Press's founder) Elizabeth Corbet Yeats, and W. B.'s wife, Georgie, had taken over operations. O'Connor's association with the Irish modernists stemmed from his early entries in the periodical Irish Statesman, which was run by Yeats's close friend AE (George Russell). Bound in Cuala house style, with blue paper over boards backed in plain linen. Marginal sunning to boards and slight rubs, else near fine. Unopened. (Miller 69)
