[Waltham St Lawrence:] The Golden Cockerel Press,, 1952. First edition, limited issue, number 164 of 360 copies. This short romantic tale is the only novel written by the eminent theatre historian, playwright, and poet Phyllis Hartnoll (1906-1997). John Buckland Wright (1897-1954), a long-term collaborator with Christopher Sandford of the Golden Cockerel Press, supplied the illustrations. As was typical of Wright's art, most of the plates "depict partly clad or nude female figures, and show the engraver's delight - perhaps even obsession with - the lines and curves of a woman's body" (ODNB). Tall quarto. Original pink and grey-blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt, gilt fighting cockerel design to front board, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Aquatint frontispiece and 6 similar plates with tissue guards after John Buckland Wright, illustrated title page printed in pink, green, and black. A couple of small marks to boards. A near-fine copy. Cock-A-Hoop 189.

London: Golden Cockerel, 1952. Copy number 348/360. Hardback. 80pp. Half bound in pink and blue-grey cloth and gilt decoration to upper board and spine. Top edge gilt. Printed on Arnold's mould-made paper in Caslon's Old Face type. Eight aquatints by John Buckland-Wright. Phyllis Hartnoll (Newdigate prize winner, poet and scholar) has turned to the beauties of the classical scene, and recreates a legend that moves from the known city of Syracuse to the imagined horrors of undiscovered Africa. Here she weaves a tale that mingles the ecstasy and heart break of young lovers, the sunshine and shadow of their April love that triumphs over all obstacles and outfaces death. The writing has inspired a series of brilliant aquatints engraved and etched by John Buckland-Wright. A really lovely book with the original Prospectus loosely inserted. Book in near fine condition. Just an occasional very minor mark to covers and very slight toning to endpapers.
