Small quarto. v, (i), 94, 1pp. A collection of Aesop's much-celebrated and much-cited fables, some illustrated with bold wood engravings by Celia M. Fiennes. In keeping with the Golden Cockerel Press's tradition of creating limited editions of classic masterworks, this representation was reprinted from Sir Roger L'Estrange's 1692 publication, reinvigorating his translation with sharp typography and modern illustrations. Bound quarter cloth with brown paper over boards and gilt-stamped title on spine. This is a fine, crisp, opened copy. (Cave & Manson 45).
