Item description from seller

First and only edition. Limited to 100 copies. Signed by the author and presented to Christopher Fry. Original stapled card covers. 18pp of text with two full page illustrations. A very good copy, the binding firm, the covers toned at the edges. The contents, with several corrections in Eleanor Farjeon's hand, are otherwise clean throughout. Hand numbered 46, signed and inscribed for the poet and playwright Christopher Fry on the limitation page at the rear. A very scarce title, with no copies identified at auction and only three institutional holdings worldwide: University of East Anglia; Cambridge (copy number 15 inscribed to Kaye Webb); Harry Ransom Centre, University of Texas.
