Condition: The pages are clean, aside from a previous owner’s gift inscription on the front free paper. There is a minor seam split between pages 132 and 133 at the top half of the seam (refer to image in the gallery area for example of this), but overall, this book is beautifully preserved, with 264 pages and a charming spine characteristic of the era.

Adorned with enchanting illustrations, this edition captivates both children and adults alike. Charles Kingsley, an English clergyman and historian, was a significant figure in Victorian literature, reflecting the 19th-century interest in folklore. His works aim to educate young readers through entertaining narratives, blending moral instruction with storytelling. In doing so, Kingsley introduced readers to the virtues of bravery, wisdom, and morality found in Greek mythology.

As a rare piece of literary history, this book is a treasure for collectors and literature enthusiasts.
