The story Ward illustrated was by May McNeer. A truly contemporary fear at the time, fascism and other issues in Europe would lead to the outbreak of World War II just three years after this book was published.<br><br> This particular wood engraving is part of the signed edition, printed on tissue, which was not used for the book publication.
