About this Item

A very scarce children's picture book of a selection of Aesop's fables. This copy is fair only, in brown cloth with flacke and gilt titles and illustrations on the front cover and a crest design blind-stamped on the rear cover. The binding has separated at the front hinge, so that the front cover is loose, albeit still attached. Some of the pages are detached, but all are still present. Moderate wear on the covers, but the gilt is still relatively good. The text has typical age darkening. CH25.
