"Harold Kaye died before he could complete arrangements for this private edition. It was his desire to share with his friends the delight he had found in the work of the Stanbrook Abbey Press. I am very grateful to Dame Hildelith Cumming for her patient and expert guidance in helping me to fulfil Harold's wish. I would also like to acknowledge Mary O'Hara's generosity in allowing us to use Richard's poem. Patsey Kaye, April 1983."--p. [3].
