[Michael John Thompson]

DUNSANY, Lord.

SELECTIONS FROM THE WRITINGS OF LORD DUNSANY [Edited by WIlliam Butler Yeats].

Churchtown, Dundrum, Ireland: The Cuala Press. 1912.

First edition. 250 copies printed. Octavo, original gray boards 
titled in black, cloth spine. 98 pp. Hand-printed in red and black, 
decorative woodcut device on title page. Printed and published by 
Elizabeth Corbet Yeats at the Cuala Press, edited a nd with an 
introduction by William Butler Yeats. Spine somewhat darkened, tiny 
bumps, a very good copy, clean, tight and attractive. A short, 
one-page Autograph Letter Signed by Dunsany is loosely laid into this 
copy. Undated, on Dunsany Castle letterhead, addressed to a Mr. Rider 
concerning returning the proofs; this is likely related to a 
different book, but is quite a lovely little letter written by 
Dunsany in his distinctive quill pen. Overall, an attractive 
presentation, the only book by another author which Yeats deigned to edit.
