Items related to C.I.E. AESOPS FABLES
"Aesop's Fables" was one of the first illustrated books ever published and in the subsequent five centuries literally hundreds of editions have appeared. The popular fables in this book have been selected from the many versions published in Great Britain, Europe and the United States during the past 150 years and feature interpretations by both well-known and less familiar artists. Among them are notable names such as Thomas Bewick, John Tenniel, Walter Crane, Charles Robinson, Randolph Caldecott and Arthur Rackham.

About the Author:
Aesop (6th century BC), is believed to have been a Greek slave on the island of Samos and, according to Herodotus and other classical writers, he was killed by the people of Delphi, who threw him off a rock after he had committed some grave offence against them. Legend has it that he was misshapen, ugly and spoke with a stammer, but his storytelling was famed for its wit, and his ability to teach lessons in morality through story has made his name synonymous with the genre of 'fable'. None of the stories attributed to him existed in written versions until about 300 BC, and the fables have been added through the centuries to the collections appearing under his name, so it is impossible to know how many of the tales in this book were told originally by the man himself - whoever he was!
