Description: Folio, twelve leaves, red hopsack cloth, paper label on spine. Copy 37 of only 150 copies signed by the illustrator. This is the second publication of this press, but the first actually printed thereby. "We found many variations of the text, especially in the reindeer's names. unfortunately no definitive manuscript could be located. . Because of the many variations that exist, we have decided to take our text directly from that of the "Troy Sentinel." This was the first published version and, therefore, probably closest to Mr. Moore's original, spontaneous vision." Illustrated by Clark Henley.
