One of 400 copies, printed at the Cuala Press. The title play premiered at The Abbey Theatre on 30 July 1934 (erroneously listed as 30 June in this edition).
The Cuala Press originally started out as the Dun Emer Press in 1903, founded by Evelyn Gleeson. Influenced by the Gaelic revival occurring in Ireland, it promoted Ireland's cultural heritage, while at the same time training women to work in a useful trade. Eventually the two sisters of W.B. Yeats took over the press, continuing Gleeson's work, and renaming it The Cuala Press in 1908.
First edition, one of 400 copies; 8vo; publisher's device in red to title, slight spotting to flyleaves, else unmarked internally; publisher's cloth-backed blue boards, paper label to spine printed in black, black lettering to upper cover, blue endpapers, unopened, corners bumped, cloth a little marked, else very good.
