Designed by Eugene V. Connett, founder of the Derrydale Press. A note in Connett's own copy of this title identifies it as the first book he published. Although it was published just before he adopted the Derrydale Press name, and "Derrydale" does not appear anywhere herein, Connett often referred to it as a Derrydale Press book, and therefore arguably the first.
