Notes:

Includes glossary. "Olney, England, was a far-away place of childhood stories told by my Mother about her father's birthplace. And so it was a double pleasure to find a subject for a miniature book there. The cartoons are taken from a souvenir booklet sold to support the local Cowper Museum. I handset all miscellaneous type in Baskerville, Baskerville Italic and Bond Script. Paper is Gilbert Rag Allegro Vellum. All type, artwork and photos were camera reduced and printed by lithography at The Schori Press, Inc. Ward Schori"--Colophon.
