Octavo. 36ff + six plates from wood engravings by Anne O'Connor. Includes an additional signed suite of the plates, printed on Moriki, as issued. This is the eighth title to bear Barry Moser's Pennyroyal imprint, and the first to contain engravings from an artist other than Moser. O'Connor was a student at Williston Academy, where Moser taught and set up a print shop that began as the Castalia Press, under which Moser produced his first book - The Red Rag - in 1970. In the Dwyer checklist, Moser explains that "O'Connor was so precocious at printing" and so he "allowed her to use the Pennyroyal imprint on this handsome little book she did as a senior project at Williston Academy." Laid in is a letter from O'Connor to noted book dealer Anne Bromer in which she specifies the breakdown of the edition: "Of forty copies there are seven copies bound paper over boards with a leather spine, and ten in tray cases of which you have one of each." She also mentions three unbound copies, accounting for half the edition. Both the book and suite are housed in a cloth folding case. A very fine copy of an uncommon early Pennyroyal title.
