Printed in 1936, this booklet was not distributed due to permissions not being obtained from Tolkien and Gordon. Most copies were destroyed by enemy action in 1940. An unknown number survived – according to one report “more than thirteen”.

Further details of the poems and where they have been reprinted are given in the Articles section of the website.
