The Fables of Aesop, Illustrated by Richard Heighway

A rich selection of time-honoured tales by legendary Greek storyteller offers youngsters valuable lessons and insights into life. Includes "The Fox and the Grapes," "The Old Man and Death," "The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse," and dozens more. Includes 170 of Richard Heighway's classic illustrations. The fables of Aesop have become one of the most enduring traditions of European culture, ever since they were first written down nearly two millennia ago. Aesop was reputedly a tongue-tied slave who miraculously received the power of speech; from his legendary storytelling came the collections of prose and verse fables scattered throughout Greek and Roman literature. First published in English by Caxton in 1484, the fables and their morals continue to charm modern who does not know the story of the tortoise and the hare, or the boy who cried wolf?
