Catalogue Note
The first book produced at the Golden Cockerel Press to be illustrated by David Jones. The Studio gave the publication a glowing review, "A book from the Golden Cockerel Press is a thing that engages the sense of both sight and touch. Both in texture and general appearance of paper and typography, it is a delight, and a great classic could appear under no better auspices."
