One of the high-water marks of Art & Crafts book design, this was Walter Crane's last major commission and one of his most fully executed and highly prized publications, featuring 88 full-page illustrations, along with head and tailpieces, devices, and initials throughout. The set was issued in parts between 1894 and 1897 and the original title pages and publisher's devices are bound in at the rear of each volume of this set.
