Written and illustrated by the Author on 90 pages of paper of an oblong shape, mounted on a heavy drawing paper to an oblong 4to size, and bound in red levant morocco, gilt-tooled back and sides, gilt edges.

The title to Chapter II is changed; there is an extra illustration, and the end is different. Chapter III has about 3 pages of text about "Fairy Hopstick and Fairy Blackstick," which are omitted in the printed text.

Chapter V differs at the beginning and two interesting draw
