The Golden Cockerel Press (1920-1961) was an English fine press founded by Hal Taylor following in the footsteps of the English Arts and Crafts movement. "The Hundredth Story" was published when the press was owned and run by Robert Gibbings, who brought artist and typeface designer Eric Gill to the press. Gill's custom typeface for Golden Cockerel debuted in "The Hundredth Story," after which it became the press's standard. Coppard was deeply involved with the press after it published his first short story collection, "Adam & Eve & Pinch Me," in 1921, even briefly assuming management of the press between periods of ownership. 1365221.
