Description

The Birds, The Frogs by Aristophanes is a leather-bound book with gold gilt pages and is an excellent addition to your vintage Greek comedy collection or Easton Press.

The Bird's introduction by Dudley Fitts transports the audience to the aerial country of Nephelococcygia (literally, Cloudcuckooland), where things are just as bad as in real life and only appear funny because the play is neither a tragedy nor a work of philosophy, but a comedy.

The Frogs include Translation from the Greek by William James Hickie and introduction by Gilbert Seldes. The play presents a ludicrous contest between the two in the underworld, where Bacchus, god of wine and revelry, has gone to seek out a good playwright. How do the frogs get into the act? They are Aristophanes’ comic chorus, croaking like the noisy plebeians at the theater, hooting the performance.

A truly, gorgeously handsome volume, designed to become an heirloom, in collectible and gift-giving condition.

Good to Know Before You Buy

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.

Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.

With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.

Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
