Fairies, giants, brownies and dragons from the tradition of English mythology by folklorist author Henry Bett.
Beautifully illustrated by Michael Ayrton and Eric Fraser, with some stunning engraving-style black ink drawings as well as a stunning frontpiece of Lady Godiva in full striking tricolour design.
English Myths and Traditions: First edition from 1952.
English Legends: Second edition from 1952.
Very good condition, with some closed tears, bumping and light shelf damage. Legends is price-clipped and the first page is stained. The inside of the cover has some stains to Myths, as well as lightly at the bottom of the cover itself. Myths is also lightly inscribed by a previous owner in pencil. Foxing to the dust jacket internally on Legends. Both are bright and sound within, and go wonderfully as a pair.
