London: Strawberry Press, 1997.
Hardcover. Fine. [21] pp, bound in brown cloth, with "TEL" stamped in gilt on front board. Fine. According to the colophon, "around two hundred copies of this edition have been hand set and printed by P.W.N. and A.P.F. Around one hundred copies were issued privately in 1996. The remainder consists of one hundred copies on Zerkall mould-made paper numbered 1-94 (with six lettered Cfor the Beloved Copyright Libraries), and five copies on gampi vellum numbered I-V." This is copy 73. Nash explains in the Introduction that Lawrence probably did not intend these tales for publication, but rather produced them as an excerise in Arabic, which he was attempting to master in 1910-11.
