Greek tales told for children by Charles Kingsley, author known for his work Water Babies, and historian, friend and correspondent of Charles Darwin. Featuring three stories: Perseus, the Argonauts, and Theseus.

A very scarce book. Dated from a copy found at the British Library catalogued on Copac.

In the original publisher's full cloth binding. Externally very smart with minor shelf wear only, light bumping to head and tail of spine and extremities, back strip lightly faded, boards only lightly warped. Internally, firmly bound. Light minor spotting to endpapers, pages otherwise clean with some browning, as usual with the type of paper used.

Overall: Very Good
