Book is intact with a couple exceptions, but for nearly 150 years old it has held up relatively well. Better condition examples are available, our pricing reflects its condition. Illustrations are still vibrant and beautiful. A unique edition of Stories from Homer by Rev. A.J. Church with a striking pictorial cover. This brilliant book includes fifteen stories from The Iliad and twelve stories from The Odyssey. If you haven't read these classic epics before, you may already be familiar with some of the characters in the stories such as Achilles and Ulysses and creatures such as Cyclops! There are many illustrations from Flaxman's designs with full page plates scattered thoughout the book.
