Each fable conveys a distinct moral, often highlighting virtues such as honesty, kindness, and wisdom while illustrating the folly of vice. From the cunning fox and the foolish crow to the hardworking ant and the carefree grasshopper, Aesop's tales reveal fundamental truths about human nature. Accompanied by Arthur Rackham's enchanting illustrations, this new translation by V. S. Vernon Jones invites readers to explore the rich tapestry of fable traditions, making them accessible and engaging for contemporary audiences.

AESOP probably lived in the middle part of the sixth century BC. A statement in Herodotus gives grounds for thinking that he was a slave. Arthur Rackham is acknowledged as one of the leading lights of the golden age of children's book illustration in the 1920s, winning gold medals at both the Milan and Barcelona exhibitions.
