Publisher Description
Aesop's Illustrated Fables features more than 400 fables, beautifully illustrated with engravings and color plates by Arthur Rackham, Walter Crane, and Ernest Griset. It includes all of the classic fables whose titles and morals have become part of our common cultural vocabulary, among them "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", "The Tortoise and the Hare", "The City Mouse and the Country Mouse", "The Dog in the Manger", and "The Fox and the Grapes". Part fairy tale, part fantasy story, part parable with a lesson to impart, each of these fables is a polished gem of storytelling craft whose luster never dulls.
Customer Reviews
Excellent!
Both my children and I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Its thought provoking stories helped produce interesting discussion amongst us as to what the moral of each tale meant both back when the fables were written and for us now in today's modern era. Highly recommended.

Wisdom that has weathered the course of time
Aesop preserved the history of time by imbeding it in the literature of wisdom that has not eroded through the passages of evolution, revolution, famine, pestulances, wars, universal catastrophes fires, drought, floods and has forever served historically our intelligence through his educational enlightenments and life analogies.
To think his gems were written over 1,500 years ago and yet are so relevant today speaks heaps for his insightful ness. An all time great in the world of successful academics.
