Catalogue Note
This edition was prepared as a Christmas Card, with the front free endpaper framed in green and lettered in red: "To....With the Seasons Greetings From...." The printed dedication is to Lady Gregory.
A nice copy of a fragile, attractive and rare book. Wade does not give the printing limitation, but it was certainly small, probably no more than 100.
