About the Author

    4.0 out of 5 stars good quality, arrived in good time
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 25, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Bought other classics illustrated before the argonauts, good quality, arrived in good time. The only problem is they have almost doubled in price and
    along with p&p the price has almost trebled (unless you spend money on other things). Otherwise I would have bought more of them. I may be showing my age, but the first classics illustrated I bought (the war of the worlds) in the fifties cost me 1 shilling and three pence, that's 5 new pence.
    I've given it 4 stars just because of the price.
