Inspired by Andria, a comedy by Terence, this novel is set on the fictional island of Brynos during the decline of Greece's golden age. Octavo. Original gray cloth binding, with gilt and red stamping. A bit of fading along the extremities of the boards, with similar mild toning to the dust jacket. Better than very good.
