Not in Curwen library or 1963 handlist; added at suggestion of Douglas Ball and Pat Gilmour Ac1.
Flower comments Flower, (1956) pp.36-40 on the illustrations: bold in design, brilliant in colour, modern in conception, text handsomely printed in faintly eighteenth-century style of Haslewood Books, but text and illustrations do not marry — the least successful of Kauffer's book illustrations.
