- Price from publisher advertisement Irish Times 1909-12-17 p9 "Maunsel's Christmas Books: Books bound in Velvet Persian and other attractive bindings"; "Retold by Ella Young. With coloured illustrations by Maud Gonne. Paper, 6d. net. Velvet Persian, 2/6 net." (The book is briefly reviewed on the same page in "Irish History and Legend", where Maud Gonne is unknown as an artist. No other hit found 2018-03-07 in automated search (coming of lugh) of newspapers prior to the late 1910 collection Celtic Wonder-Tales.)
- HathiTrust Digital Library (HDL) provides full view of one copy from U California -- original cover, material unknown: dark grey cover with light grey lettering, tiny illustration -- 12 leaves: 1 title p[1-2]; 7 text p3-16; 4 plates not included in the pagination -- Gonne's signature is stylized "mg"
- Cover illustration --two swans intertwined and circumscribed-- is one of several circular decorations by Maud Gonne in the 1910 collection Celtic Wonder-Tales (p[203], at least; viewed at HDL).
- Library of Congress (LCCN, below) reports a copy in the Rare Book Collection, as size 14 cm WorldCat (OCLC) reports -- "16 pages, [4] leaves of plates : color illustrations ; 16 cm" -- "Other titles: Dara cath Maighe Tuired"
- "Dara cath Maighe Tuired" (google translate: Second Battle of Battle of Maighe Tuired) does not appear in the 28 images that HDL provides. This suggests that the scan is incomplete (eg, preliminary leaf missing) and that multiple formats differ in more than "attractive binding" materials.
