Add to basket1st printing of the first Canadian hardcover edition SIGNED by Kay on the title page with a blue fountain pen. Included is a program and bookmark for the International Festival of Authors at which this copy was autographed in November 2025. Red paper boards and binding with red end papers, silver titles and device on the front panel and red and blue design on the exposed page edges. The book includes a map in a two-page spread by longtime Kay collaborator Martin Springett, winner of the Aurora Award for Fantasy and Science Fiction Illustration, who illustrated The Fionavar Tapestry.
