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.

Aesop’s fables
Amazing book…. I highly recommend. This is a lovely book full to the brim with wise and witty tales by Aesop. If he was alive today, I would give him a pat on the back for all of his amazing pieces of literature. If you are suggesting/thinking about getting this book then it is the exact opposite of tedious and mundane…
My rating: 😄👍😄👍😄👍😄
Timeless
Read in one sitting and loved the simplicity with which the stories are unfolded involving deep philosophical concepts using the most innocent of characters.
