Description
8vo., First Edition thus; original printed wrappers, covers very faintly age-soiled else a very good, bright, clean copy. First appearance in Rieu's renowned 'Penguin Classics' series, and first publication of Watling's translation. The cover roundel is based on an alleged bust of the dramatist. A note in Penguin's Bristol archives suggests that one 'Bert Pugh' was responsible for the design (see Edwards Hare & Robinson, p.60). Penguin Classics, L3.
