"This book of red, green and white paper remnants takes its design from the flag of Wales which in turn must have had as its model the lush and lilting countryside of Wales. Creeping through this paper landscape is the red dragon which adorns the flag and which according to Arthurian legend was first thought to be a comet or shooting star, a sign--namely the coming of Arthur."--Title leaf. Also given in parallel statements of French and Welsh.
