St Mary's Books is proud to present this beautiful edition of Plutarch's Lives of Greek Heroes - an english translation of the renowned Greek historian's biographies of influential classical figues such as Pericles and Themistocles, it was published by Blackie & Sons as part of their 'Blackie's Limp Leather Library'. Like many other books in this series, it is bound in a rich maroon leather and the title is embossed in gilt lettering on the upper-left corner of the front cover. The spine is decorated with a wonderful gilt illustration of botanical imagery, the title of the book is also embossed in gilt lettering on the upper end of the spine. A black-and-white plate of Aristides and Themistocles is displayed opposite the title page. The pages are in very good condition with only some age-related foxing towards a few of the edges, the colour on the spine is slightly worn and there is some rubbing to the ends of the spine and top corners of the covers. This is an absolutely fantastic copy of an important work of classical history and would be a great gift for anyone with an interest in ancient history. pp.240.
