"Reality provides us with facts so romantic that imagination itself could add nothing to them."
― Jules Verne
Jules Verne's adventure novels are some of the most popular and famous works of literature of all time. Known mostly for his works of science fiction, 'Voyages Extraordinaires' was Verne's largest collection of fantasy novels and stories. Perhaps his most famous work of all was none other than 'Around the World in 80 Days'. This story remains hugely popular today, combining exploration, adventure, and a race against time!
Note on dating: like many other Verne first editions, the title page included was issued in each edition, including later printings. The dating comes from the ads in the back of the book – however, this edition has no ads! A rare 1873 true first edition of Verne!

John Dryden was a 17th-century English poet who was known as England's very first Poet Laureate and would lead England into a literary period that would become known as the Age of Dryden. He also established standard forms of English poetry though his satires, fables, epigrams, poems, and plays.
'Fables, Ancient and Modern' is Dryden's translations of some of the most famous and iconic works of ancient literature. Dryden includes selections from Ovid's 'Metamorphoses', Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales', Homer's 'Iliad', and even stories from Giovanni Boccaccio, all translated into English verse.
This particular 1797 edition is an enormous folio! And the size alone is not the only appeal – this edition contains engravings from the artwork of Diana Beauclerc. These 9 full-page illustrations are highly coveted works of art and make this folio one of the most desirable editions of Dryden's 'Fables'.

Edward II of England was an early 14th-century king of England best-remembered for his political turmoil which arose from his relationships with Piers Gaveston and Hugh Despenser. Edward gave unwarranted privileges to these nobles (who had significant wealth and influence) – an act that angered other barons. So much so, that these other nobles executed Gaveston for his actions to the king. Edward's relationships with these men caused his reign to be one of the most tumultuous reigns of medieval England.
Author Henry Cary wrote an important 17th-century survey of Edward II's reign which focused primarily on the rise and fall of his two closest allies – Gaveston and Despenser.
