Description

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. Essential volumes for the shelves of every classic literature lover, the Chartwell Classics series includes beautifully presented works and collections from some of the most important authors in literary history. Chartwell Classics are the editions of choice for the most discerning literature buffs.

Author Biography:

Not much is known about the life of Aesop. He was a slave who lived in Greece around 620-563 BCE, and hundreds of fables are attributed to him. He was believed to be tongue-tied, but miraculously received the power of speech and became a legendary storyteller.
