St Mary's Books is proud to present this 1911 edition of "Stories from the Pentamerone" by Giambattista Basile, illustrated by Warwick Goble. Bound in red cloth with green all-edge staining, stunning gold gilt lettering and a beautiful illustration of a princess on the cover, this hardback book contains i-xii and 304 pages of text. These wonderful tales of adventure, whimsy, and heroism are perfectly supplemented by Warwick Goble's 34 full-colour illustrations, which transport the reader to the fantasy land of Giambattista Basile's imagination. This book is in very good condition, though the spine is fade and there is some offsetting and an inscription on the front free endpapers, this copy remains otherwise remarkably clean and readable given its age and rarity. "Stories from the Pentamerone" is looking for a new home, and would make for the perfect gift for any Warwick Goble enthusiast.
