520 _aAlthough he was probably as mythical as the tales attributed to him, the legendary name of Aesop has been associated for thousands of years with an enduringly popular collection of enchanting fables. This delightful selection of Aesop's parables--some universally recognizable, others refreshingly unfamiliar--is magnificently complemented by illustrations taken from a variety of antique editions of the fables. Among the artists represented in this beautifully reproduced new volume are Arthur Rackham, Thomas Bewick, Walter Crane, Charles Robinson, and Randolph Caldecott. This stunning compemdium includes fully captioned illustrations, a complete bibliography of sources, and a set of biographical notes on the artists.-- Publisher.
