This timeless collection brings together three hundred of the most enduringly popular of Aesop's fables in a collection that will delight young and old readers alike. Here are all the age-old favourites - the wily fox, the vain peacock, the predatory cat and steady tortoise - just as endearingly vivid and relevant now as they were for their very first audience.

Illustrations by Arthur Rackham, a leading decorative illustrator of the Edwardian period. With an Afterword by Anna South
