Beschreibung

35pp, [1]. [Bound with:] Les rencontres fantaisies et Coqs-a-l'asne facetieux du baron grateland. Troyes. Chez Pierre Garnier, [s.d., 1738]. [36]pp. 12mo. Nineteenth century gilt-tooled mottled calf, contrasting brown morocco lettering-piece, marbled edges. Rubbed, loss to spine caps, corners exposed. Marbled endpapers, armorial bookplate of Richard Chase Sidney to FEP, blind-stamp of John Fowles to front blank fly-leaf, leaves browned and spotted. Two early eighteenth century editions of popular facetious French stories by Verboquet le Genereux and his 'disciples'. Verboquet is widely considered to be a pseudonym, as indeed are the names of his followers; regardless, they are all merely plagiarists, retelling and occasionally reworking comic tales originating from sixteenth century authors, in particular, Bonaventure Des Periers. John Fowles (1926-2005), English novelist, notable works include The Magus (1965) and The French Lieutenant's Woman (1969). Size: 12mo. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers AQ28453
