First Winston printing of the Weekes/Fitz illustrated edition. Blanche Ethel Weekes (b.1883) was an educator and author associated with Teachers College, Columbia University, where she specialized in children's literature and pedagogy. She published The Influence of Meaning on Children's Choices of Poetry (1929) and adapted or arranged several classic works for young readers. Her introduction and editorial arrangement of Aesop's Fables for John C. Winston Co. (1928) reflect her educational approach to moral storytelling and literary appreciation for children. John Fitz Jr. was an American illustrator active during the late 1920s, best known for his work with the John C. Winston Company's Child's Garden of Charming Books series. His drawings, noted for their crisp linework and lively characterizations, appeared in Aesop's Fables, The Little Lame Prince, A Dog of Flanders, and Rip Van Winkle. Though little is recorded about his life, Fitz's style reflects the transitional period between art-nouveau and early art-deco illustration in American juvenile publishing.
