Fables (Illus. Rackham)

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 the individual fables — the fox and the grapes, the dog in the manger, the wolf in sheep’s clothing and many 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 G.K. Chesterton.
