Aesop's Fables. Aesop was a Greek storyteller born in approximately BCE. Tradition says he was born as a slave, but developed a real talent for fables that were used to teach truths in a simple, understandable way. While Aesop was revered for his abilities, it is almost certain that many of the fables attributed to him were actually written by countless people over the ages. Aesop is credited with many fables that have endured for centuries, relating morals and truth to young and old using animals as the main characters in each story. This collection of tales, with color illustrations and black-and-white art by Percy J. Billinghurst throughout, is a beautiful addition to any home library. Aesop's Illustrated Fables features more than fables, beautifully illustrated with engravings and color plates by Arthur Rackham, Walter Crane, and Ernest Griset. It includes all of the classic fables whose titles and morals have become part of our common cultural vocabulary, among them "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," "The Tortoise and the Hare," "The City Mouse and the Country Mouse," "The Dog in the Manger," and "The Fox and the Grapes.".
