Fables (Everyman's Library Children's Classics)
by Aesop
from Everyman's Library
Aesop is said to have lived in the sixth century B.C., a slave on the Greek island of Samos. The eternally entertaining tales attributed to him–in which the fates of sly foxes, wicked wolves, industrious ants, and others, suggest what our own behaviors should (or should not) be–have been universal "best-sellers" since before L'Estrange's definitive 1692 English translation. Gooden's superb engravings were first published in 1936 in a limited edition.

Animal Fables from Aesop
by Barbara McClintock; Aesop
from David R Godine
Once again Barbara McClintock's elegant and inviting artwork graces the pages of a children's book. Here, in all their wisdom and humor, are the timeless fables of Aesop, selected and adapted by the artist, and illustrated in her inimitable nineteenth-century anthropomorphic style.
This collection includes such well-known fables as "The Fox and the Grapes," as well as such lesser-known tales as "The Wolf and the Lamb" and "The Crow and the Peacocks." All are revitalized by McClintock's uncanny ability to capture humanity, with all its strengths and weaknesses, in the expression of her exquisitely drawn creatures. Filled with the delicacy of line that has come to be her trademark, these images are bound to please readers of all ages for generations to come, and will doubtless end up on the shelves of the most discerning of book collectors.
