(ii) (48)pp. Printed in red and black with six- and eight-line initial capitals by H.M. O'Kane, echoing the aesthetic of the Kelmscott Press. Here, O'Kane honors Morris by reprinting his better-known long narrative poem "The Defence of Guenevere" in addition to "King Arthur's Tomb," "Sir Galahad: A Christmas Mystery," "The Chapel in Lyoness," and "A Good Knight in Prison." A beautiful production from the Elston Press. In the publisher's blue cloth titled in gilt on spine. T.e.g. Shadow of removed bookplate on front pastedown, else fine.
