This elegant leather-bound volume includes 487 fables, along with more than 100 illustrations by celebrated artists Arthur Rackham and Walter Crane. Aesop"s Fables is one of the world"s most well-known collections of stories, and has influenced thousands of other literary works. 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.
