Sire Degrevaunt. First Kelmscott Press edition, one of 350 copies printed on paper. The Middle English romance of Sir Degrevant was a favourite in William Morris's circle. In the summer of 1860, Edward Burne-Jones completed a wall-painting of The Wedding Procession of Sire Degrevaunt in the drawing room of Red House. The text of this edition was based on the Camden Society's Thornton Romances.
