The Golden Fleece by Robert Graves. Introduced by Lawrence Norfolk. 15 colour illustrations by Grahame Baker. Black on dark green map endpapers by Reginald Piggott. Genealogical table. Bound in blue-green buckram with a gilt design. 433pp. 25x16.4cm.
Graves wrote The Golden Fleece between November 1943 and July 1944. This narrative represents something of a pinnacle to Graves' writing, coming about thirty years after the World War I experiences that had so thoroughly influenced his work. The Golden Fleece is the result both of his life-long immersion in Greek mythology and his own traumatic war experience. The result is a brilliant narrative.
