Description: CONDITION: Very Good Plus; bright, straight, tight, boards and pages immaculate; bottom corners lightly bumped with slight rubs, light spotting on gilt top edge. Juvenile hardback. John Gay (1685 - 1732), the author of The Beggar's Opera, wrote these original fables near the end of his life. Cynical and political, as well as interesting, they appeal to all ages. They became an English children's classic. From The Elephant and the Bookseller "For when we risk no contradiction,/It prompts the tongue to deal in fiction./ Those things that startle me or you,/I grant are strange yet still are true./ Who doubts that Elephants are found/for science and for sense renowned? ABE Heritage Seller since 1996; conservative AB condition grading. We ship all our books in cardboard protection. International shipping. /William Harvey, illustrator.
