Originally Digitized version from the Internet Archive (2011)Here are 126 of the best-loved of the ancient author's classic fables, including such favorites as "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse", "The Hare and the Tortoise", and "The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing". Each of these animal tales will delight and entertain readers today as they have done for centuries.  Each story gorgeously illustrated by Milo Winter.Not only is this book delightful for children and adults to read, artists will similarly appreciate the skill of artist Milo Winter in humanizing animal protagonists without falling into physically humanizing anthropomorphic art.  This collection of stories is both wonderful for the collector of children's stories, and those who appreciate well-done book art.
