Description:This is nonfiction commentary. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Ephesian Tale, Daphnis and Chloe, True History, Leucippe and Clitophon, Aethiopica, Milesian Tale. Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated.
