A hardback copy of The Fables of Aesop, illustrated by Edward J Detmold, published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1981.

There is a very little light wear to the boards, with a small scuff to the front board (see photos) and a little light foxing to the top of the closed page edges, otherwise the book is in excellent condition, the pages are clean and uncreased with no inscriptions. There are 23 lovely colour plates and line illustrations throughout the book.

A really beautiful copy of this classic book, approx 25cm/10” tall.
