Aesop’s Fables

Aesop’s Fables combines 23 timeless morality tales with striking black ink drawings by the revered artist Jacob Lawrence. This new edition, completely redesigned and typeset, adds five illustrations Lawrence prepared for the original edition but which were not included in it. Aesop’s fables are often ungentle tales with profound and instructive morals. Lawrence’s bold and expressive pen-and-ink illustrations reflect both the charm and the severity of the fables themselves. The wisdom and depth of this collection will reach all who read it, from child to adult.
