With Westley's binder's ticket on rear paste-down. Mackenzie's version of the German mediaeval classic was first published in 1860 as a Christmas volume, but stocks were swiftly exhausted and a second edition prepared to meet continuing demand. Mackenzie produced a lengthy additional preface to this second edition, attributing the success of the venture partly to 'the generous and unanimous verdict of the press' but also, surely, to the wonderful illustrations by 'Alfred Crowquill' (A.H. Forrester). Many would-be Christmas readers must have been disappointed for Mazkenzie dates his preface Christmas Eve, but scholars of mediaeval romance and fantasy will find this a most useful edition replete with extensive historical preface and bibliographical and other scholarly appendices. The US edition (T&F of Boston) of the same year is the first American edition of the tale in English. Scarce.
