Blue cloth bound boards with a cream Vellum spine and Bright Gilt Titling. 95 pp. English translation of this Greek tale of two young lovers by George Moore of whom "many readers regard this version as the best of all the translations to date".

His writings influenced James Joyce, according to the literary critic and biographer Richard Ellmann, and, although Moore's work is sometimes seen as outside the mainstream of both Irish and British literature, he is as often regarded as the first great modern Irish novelist.". Originally Translated /Printed in a French version in 1559, by Jacques Amyot this charming idyll that has been republished often and in many languages.
