Notes
First edition, issued in a variant binding and lacking the eight-leaf section "The Rose."
This copy not in Wallace.
The binding on the library's copy resembles the one used on the Horace Mann School edition (Wallace A31c) but without the school seal or lettering. Wallace describes these variant bindings as having been issued in June 1956 on copies otherwise matching the collation and dust jacket of the ordinary first edition.
"Manufactured...by The Haddon Craftsmen, Inc., Scranton, Pa. ... Designed by Marice Serle Kaplan"--Verso of title page.
