About This Item
(Printed and Published by Douglas Pepler, Hampshire House, Hammersmith, and Ditchling, Sussex, 1916).. Large 8vo, 24 pp. 14 woodcuts, one page printed in green. Original printed wrappers, spine torn with a repair to the inside, edges bumped with some minor marks. The cuts include 11 "wood-blocks purchased at a curiosity shop for 2d. each", plus Gill's Press device to the lower cover and one by Pepler's son David (aged 10½). The publisher's note tipped inside the upper cover features a further woodcut by Ronald Seal (aged 11½). As well as St. George, two stories by Pepler's sons are featured. Taylor & Sewell A2. No limitation noted, but as only the second book printed by Pepler it must be decidedly scarce.
