Aesop's Fables (inbunden, eng)

This beautifully designed, jacketed hardcover edition of Aesop’s Fables includes 284 fables with 80 color and black-and-white illustrations by Milo Winter.

Written down two thousand years ago in ancient Latin and Greek, the fables and morals of Aesop have been passed down through generations and were first published in English in 1484.

These clever fables center around charming animal characters and through fantasy storytelling both entertain and impart important life lessons. The most popular fables, like “The Tortoise and the Hare,” “The Fox and the Grapes,” and “The Lion and the Mouse,” have become part of our cultural vocabulary yet still entertain children and adults alike.
