Helen Ward and Aesop - Unwitting Wisdom: An Anthology of Aesop's Fables

Price range: $3.01 - $3.01 This oversized and lavishly illustrated collection of adaptations of the 2,500-year-old Aesop's Fables features a dozen of the famous stories, including the wolf in sheep's clothing, the lion and the mouse, and the fox and the grapes. Helen Ward's stunningly detailed ink-and-watercolor illustrations accompany the reworked and modernized text: "The hare liked nothing better than impressing the general population with his speed. 'I am the master of faster,' was how he so irritatingly put it."
