- Abstract
- en_US What a wonderful find! I had seen it a couple of months earlier for $550 at the San Francisco International Book Dealers' show. Slight round stain on the cover. This book presents the first six books of Caxton's work, leaving off Avianus, Alfonso, and Poggio. Angelo's few illustrations, marking the title-page and the beginning of each book, are delightful works in green, yellow, red, and gold. Of course I would have wanted more of this sort of work! The red initials are equally stunning, incorporating the animals of each fable. The text is utterly true to Caxton; in fact, I consulted it regularly as I worked my way through Lenaghan's Caxton's Aesop.
