Description: N.p. Richard Abel & Company, 1968. Paperback. 16mo. Stiff beige printed wrappers. (1p), 23pp. Near fine. Faintest of age toning to outer wrappers (only). Scholarly book distributor Abel introduces this facsimile reprint of this undated but apparently 18th century pamphlet published in Salop, England by one J. Eddowes -- one of many retellings of this Arthurian folk tale. Handsomely printed by noted San Francisco printer Lawton Kennedy (1900-80) and his younger brother Alfred. Interesting Christmas keepsake printed for distribution to this firm's friends, customers and employees. Laid in is the business card of that firm's vice president. .
