Notes: St. Dunstan was mentioned in Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." This version of a St. Dunstan legend is illustrated by George Cruickshank, who illustrated some of Dickens work (but not A Christmas Carol).

(I read the 3rd edition available at Project Gutenberg with illustrations.)

[Hal Brodsky]

This is an easy to read Victorian poem written in AABCCB.
As this is a copy of the 2nd edition, it must have done better than it seems to deserve. I suspect the reason it sold well was because it was illustrated by famed illustrator George Cruikshank (as in Charles Dickens' illustrator), and from the somewhat bizarre action in the poem, I am sure Cruikshank had a filed day with this.
Herein lies the problem...Cruikshank's illustrations are missing from this E-Book edition, making it, too me, almost valueless.
Perhaps someone can comment on why the illustrations are missing.......
