This elegant leather-bound volume includes 488 fables, along with more than 100 illustrations by celebrated artists Arthur Rackham and Walter Crane.A scholarly introduction examines Aesop's life and the oral tradition, providing readers with further insight into the world of the humble storyteller whose presence continues to touch us today.
