Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1912 Aesop s Fables 1ed ARTHUR RACKAHM Illustrated Hare Tortoise Boy Cried Wolf Aesop s Fables, as translated by V. S. Vernon Jones, offers an early 20th-century take on 300 fables taken from the classic collection, each a time-honored parable encapsulating human virtues and follies. G.K. Chesterton provides an insightful introduction, pondering the lasting appeal and moral gravity of these simple yet profound tales. Arthur Rackham s incredible illustrations accommodate the fables throughout with 13 captivating, tipped-in colored plates and 53 meticulous black-and-white drawings, some of which appear to include self-caricatures. Among the many lessons conveyed through cunning foxes, industrious ants, and plodding tortoises, the fables include familiar tales like The Hare and the Tortoise, The Fox and the Grapes, and The Boy Who Cried Wolf, each a gem of wisdom passed down through the ages. Rackham s artistry not only embellishes the pages but also deepens the reader s connection to the timeless wisdom of Aesop s tales, where animals speak, and human truths are laid bare.
