Now in our posession is the very rare -The Life of Saint David- a very early Gregynog (1927).
41 pp.

Limited to 150 copies from an edition limited to 175, 25 hand-coloured wood-engravings by R.A. Maynard and H.W. Bray, chapter openings in pale blue, initial letters and paragraph marks in red, drawn with a quill by H.W. Bray, publisher's white limp vellum, spine lettered in gilt, t.e.g. 4to, Newtown, Gregynog Press, 1927. Very rare, early Gregynog. The text was finished by Ernest Rhys in February of 1925, however the prining was not completed until 27 September 1927. This was due to it being the first book to be printed on damp hand-made paper at the press!
