Edition limited to 150 numbered copies, this copy inscribed by the illustrator to her mentor in wood-engraving, "for Yvonne Skargon - for putting this book my way. With love & thanks. Linda Holmes"; publisher's printed prospectus loosely inserted. "Linda Holmes, our illustrator, is an English wood engraver who left a career with the BBC to work for a degree in history at Cambridge and subsequently. devoted herself to the difficult art of wood engraving," the prospectus declares.
