    Description

    Early Edition, Rebound, Very Scarce

    A smart and very scarce publication of prolific English dramatist Henry James Byron's work.

    Byron's burlesque remains the basis for the modern day pantomime

    Undated; dated 1861 via the British Library.

    An early edition of this very scarce work, which was first published the year prior by Samuel French.

    The verso of the title page informs readers 'First performed at the Royal Strand Theatre on Wednesday, 26th December 1860'.

    Rebound, with endpapers renewed. With one contemporary advertisement leaf to the start of the work, and one to the rear.

    With the stamp of the Guildhall Library to the head of the title page verso, and to three further leaves.

    A charming 'burlesque extravaganza'.
