Five Greek myths retold. Each is accompanied by a black and white plate by Cecil Beaton; this is his first appearance in a book.

This edition is limited to 1200 copies of which this is number 619

A collection of seven mildly erotic "pastel" stories, based mostly on mythology, originally published in limited editions in Paris between 1893 and 1898. Pierre Louÿs retells these legends so beautifully that, under the spell of his relation, one almost loses sight of the extent to which their consummate literary craftsmanship reveals the master of literary technic no less than the imaginative artist. The pastels are not so sensational as some of the author's other works but, in a general sense, they are the most delicate and the most sympathetic of all his writings. Pierre Louÿs, pseudonym of Pierre Louis (1870-1925), was a French novelist and poet who expressed pagan sensuality with stylistic perfection. Louÿs frequented Parnassian and Symbolist circles and was a friend of the composer Claude Debussy. He founded various literary reviews, notably La Conque in 1891. His Chansons de Bilitis (1894), prose poems about Sapphic love, purporting to be translations from the Greek, deceived even experts. Aphrodite (1896), a novel depicting courtesan life in ancient Alexandria, made him famous and it became the best-selling work by any living French writer (350,000 copies).

Classic Toy That Never Gets Old!
My 8-month-old is absolutely captivated by this Elmo jack-in-the-box! She giggles with anticipation as the "Waltzing Matilda" tune plays, and erupts in laughter when the soft Elmo plush pops out. The sturdy metal box with vibrant Sesame Street designs has held up perfectly through daily play. At 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.5 inches, it's the perfect size for little hands. This timeless toy brings endless joy and smiles—highly recommend for any Elmo-loving baby or toddler!

Elmo -in-a- Box !
Purchased as a gift for my grand daughter who happens to love Elmo. Cute toy with a little red Elmo who pops up and makes you jump if you’re not expecting it. It’s still working since December so that’s a good sign !

Cute but could be sturdier
For the price I wish it was a little better constructed. Elmo’s arm gets caught every time it shuts which makes it difficult for a toddler to do it alone. The lid is thin and can be bent easily. The music is very soft. The colors and presentation are very fun but it’s a little difficult for an 18 month old to play with on her own.
