Here is the quintessential Aesop, lovingly retold in a contemporary yet timeless style embellished with a profusion of glorious illustrations. The text, sixty-one fables in all, begs to be read aloud; the pictures transport the audience into a different world, magical yet firmly grounded in reality. The whole is an exemplary model of bookmaking--and one destined to become a favorite version of these tales.
