A near-fine set of this superb private press edition, undoubtedly one of Ashendene's finest achievements.

Limited edition, one of only 225 copies; 2 vols, folio (440 x 320 mm); printed in red and black, decorative initials and borders designed by Louise Powell and cut on wood by W.M. Quick & Geo. H. Ford, untrimmed, the odd, minor spot to some of the endpapers and some spotting to the deckled fore-edges (outside of text block) with a few slightly encroaching onto the extreme margin, otherwise near-fine; dark green pigskin by W. H. Smith & Son, again near-fine.

Hornby 36.
