Aesop`s celebrated collection of fables has always been popular with both adults and children. These simple tales embody truths so powerful, the titles of individual fables - the fox and the grapes, the dog in the manger, the wolf in sheep`s clothing andmany others - have entered the languages and idioms of most European tongues.
This edition is beautifully illustrated in black and white by the great Arthur Rackham, and has an introduction by O.K.Chesterton.
