It was first staged in Talacharn by the Talacharn Players on August 4th, 1967. This volume was printed in Llandysul where Gwilym Marles, brother of Dylan Thomas' grandfather, was a minister and kept a school. John David Lewis, the founder of Gwasg Gomer, was a pupil at Ysgol Gwilym Marles. Two hundred and fifty copies of the first edition were bound in Helicon. This is copy 106."

Sized 18.5 x 12.5 cm. Pp. 114. Original binding with gilt lettering to spine. Light bumping to spine tips and corners, with binding lightly rolled. Top edge coloured (now somewhat faded). Inscription in pen to front paste-down endpaper, as follows "Dyma'ch arsenic cariad! Jim". Very sporadic marking throughout, primarily a very small stain to bottom of front paste-down endpaper, as pictured. Overall, a clean, bright example, quite rare to find on the market due to the low limitation number.
