Red boards stamped in gilt with fox-and-grape vignette to front and gilt spine titles; 214 pp. A handsome mid-century Doubleday edition pairing Townsend's classic 19th-century English translation of Aesop's Fables with an insightful new introduction by Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer, who praises the timeless clarity and moral wit of the ancient storyteller.

Book Club Edition issued the same year as the trade first. Isaac Bashevis Singer (1903-1991) was a Polish-born American writer who won the 1978 Nobel Prize in Literature. Writing primarily in Yiddish, he became renowned for blending folklore, moral parable, and human psychology in works such as The Slave and Gimpel the Fool. Murray Tinkelman (1933-2016) was an award-winning American illustrator celebrated for his cross-hatched pen-and-ink style and contributions to classic literature, magazines, and the New York Times Book Review. His finely detailed line art and subtle humor made him one of the defining illustrators of the mid-20th century.
