Octavo. 72, (14)pp. A fascinating shift of style for the Press in its final years and under the direction of Georgie Yeats, who took over after the death of Elizabeth Corbet Yeats in 1940. The book boasts line illustrations throughout by Elizabeth Rivers, in whose compositions can certainly be seen the post-Impressionistic emphasis on line and form championed by her instructor, Walter Sickert. In fact, the final book published by the Cuala would be Rivers's Stranger in Aran (1946). With a checklist for the Press, as was included (i.e. bound in) with all 1943 Press publications in honor of its fortieth anniversary. Bound in brown paper over boards backed in plain linen, with paper spine label and illustration to upper cover. Slight bumps to corners, else near fine and unopened. (Miller 73)
