This Rinehart Editions paperback presents a carefully curated selection of Robert Frost's poetry, chosen and lightly revised by the author himself, with an introduction by poet and classicist Robert Graves. Designed as a serious yet accessible academic text, the volume reflects mid-20th-century American paperback scholarship, pairing authoritative texts with restrained, modernist design typical of the Rinehart series. Contents span Frost's major collections, including A Boy's Will and North of Boston, with bibliographical and biographical notes. This copy is notable for its exceptional original laid-in ephemera, preserved together since purchase: the original University Book Store (Virginia Tech) retail price tag showing $8.95, the original University Book Store receipt dated September 30, 1982, and a student ticket stub for the University of Kentucky vs. Virginia Tech football game at Lane Stadium, Blacksburg, VA, Saturday, October 30, 1982 (Hokie Club Day). Together, these items form a vivid, intact snapshot of student life and book culture at Virginia Tech in the early 1980s, enhancing the book's historical and associative appeal. Condition reflects honest age and use. There is moisture staining affecting the upper-right corner of pages through approximately page 25, diminishing thereafter; the remainder of the text is clean, unmarked, and free of writing or highlighting. The binding remains tight and secure, with no loose pages, and there are no rips or tears. A solid, complete copy made especially attractive by its preserved provenance materials.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. "The Age of Fable" by Thomas Bulfinch is a classical work that combines mythological stories and fables, written in the mid-19th century. This book serves as an accessible introduction to ancient mythology, notably the tales of Greek and Roman deities, and aims to familiarize readers with the narratives that are often alluded to in Western literature. The beginning of "The Age of Fable" sets the stage for a rich exploration of mythology, emphasizing its importance for understanding literature and culture. Bulfinch introduces the book with a preface that articulates the necessity of mythological knowledge to appreciate classical literature fully, arguing that familiarity with myths enhances one's enjoyment and comprehension of poetry and prose. He describes the creation of mankind by Prometheus and the following tales of gods and heroes, including the lamentable tale of Pandora, whose curiosity unleashed evils upon humanity while retaining hope. This opening segment highlights Bulfinch's goal of conveying these ancient stories in an engaging manner, making them relevant and entertaining for a contemporary audience while providing valuable cultural insight.
