Many of these fables use animals as the main characters to convey deeper meanings and morals that have become ingrained in our cultural and personal belief systems. This elegant volume features a bonded leather cover, raised hubs on the spine, quality ivory paper, gilded edges, specially designed endpapers, and a ribbon bookmark. The pages include 487 fables, along with more than 100 illustrations by celebrated artists Arthur Rackham and Walter Crane. A scholarly introduction examines Aesop’s life and the oral tradition, providing readers with further insight into the world of the humble storyteller whose presence continues to touch us today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aesop","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":54100206944595,"sku":"9781667211572","price":29.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1079\/6695\/5859\/files\/aesop.jpg?v=1782656487","url":"https:\/\/lorienbooks.com\/products\/aesops-fables-1572","provider":"Lorien Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
