Description

A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. 8 3/4"w x 11 1/8"h. 96 pages. Slight edge wear to dust jacket and cover. Previous owner's attractive bird bookplate inside. Many color illustrations. "Anne Payne here follows the order of a traditional type of bestiary and describes each beast in a commentary which she has derived from the original texts. The illustrations -- over seventy in full colour -- are taken from nine different bestiaries in the British Library's collections."
