The Frogs

The Frogs (1905) by Aristophanes – Longmans Edition
A century-old chorus still croaks! This 1905 Longmans edition of The Frogs brings Aristophanes’ razor-sharp wit into the Edwardian age, complete with its scholarly notes, sober type, and just enough foxing to reassure you it has lived a long, bookish life. The immortal comedy—where Dionysus descends to Hades in search of a decent playwright—is presented here for the earnest classicist, the nostalgic schoolmaster, or anyone who enjoys their Greek drama with a whiff of dust and old leather.

Condition: worn but intact, much like the jokes themselves. Published by Longmans, Green & Co., 1905. Expect dog-eared dignity, yellowed pages, and the occasional ink blot from readers past.

Another fine relic rescued and offered—croaking proudly—by Crappy Old Books.

This is an ex-school book from Old Palace school in Croydon.
