In addition to the typed poems, the book bears a hand-written dedication to J. M. Barrie and a verse each by Donne and Dryden, along with a laid-in sheet of paper that states: "This is my first attempt in book form of some of my poems: this copy was sent to J. M. Barrie. The drawings are by me. None of these poems have ever been published. Frederic Prokosch." An extraordinary and unique early piece of writing by Prokosch that predates all of his major works.
