AESOP AESOPS FABLES ILLUSTRATED

This illustrated collection includes hundreds of fables that have influenced our world for
centuries.   The stories attributed to Aesop  a slave and storyteller who lived in Greece
around 620–564 BCE  were originally passed on through oral tradition before first being
transcribed several centuries after his death. Many of these fables use animals as the main
characters to convey deeper meanings and morals that have become ingrained in our cultural and
personal belief systems  such as “The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs ” “The Wolf in Sheep’s
Clothing ” and “The Hare and the Tortoise.” 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.
