16mo. (viii), 76, (1)pp. Frontispiece device is Elinor Monsell's "The Lady Emer Standing by a Tree." Among the few Cuala Press editions with scope beyond Ireland and with a non-Irish author - a notable feature because Elizabeth Corbet Yeats's press was the chief publisher of Celtic Revivalism. Bound in blue papered-boards backed in buckram. Mild soiling and rubbing to exterior, one tender interior gutter, possible but near-imperceptible hinge repair to endpaper, else a near fine copy of one of the Cuala Press's more limited editions.

Provenance

The author's own copy, with his bookplate to front pastedown and with typed information sheet tipped-in above. Bookplate of Charles B. Wood III to endpapers.
