    I was hoping to just search the history for thoughts on SFW but I can’t find a search box today.  Is it just me?

    I’d like to read this to my two 9yo boys but I can’t figure out which edition/translation/publisher to get.  I’ve read in a few places to get the translation by William Godwin and that it has been reprinted by Penguin Classics but I can only find the $63 versions on Amazon.  Does anyone have input on this?  If I can’t figure out a better way I can try to get it though interlibrary loan and be very specific about the version.

     

    Thanks,

    I found an old edition at a used bookstore that was unabridged. It’s amazing (and kind of sad!) how much good content some versions leave out.

    HTH!
