Specially bound issue. An enigmatic copy of this splendid limited edition by one of the leading British illustrators of the 20th century. In theory the only copies to be bound thus in full morocco, as opposed to quarter morocco, were to be numbered one to twenty-six, but this is numbered 493, plus additionally initialled & inscribed in pencil by Flint on a preliminary blank, 'For dear Ray With deep affections & gratitude from her Artist-Author WRF.'
