This beautiful hardback edition brings together Aesop's beloved fables, luxuriously presented with gold cover embossing and gilded page edges.
Fables are often described as having stood the test of time - but none are more deserving of that accolade than Aesop's Fables, which were first recounted by a slave in Ancient Greece in the sixth century BCE. They have since been retold countless times, as they are rediscovered and reinterpreted for each new generation.
Over the centuries, the larger-than-life characters in these tales have become part of our common cultural heritage, as idioms and metaphors recognized by people all over the world. Now, thanks to this charming collection, you can discover them for yourself.
This delightful hardcover edition is presented with a gold embossed cover and gilded page-edges with 50 illustrations to accompany the text.
