Aesop's Fables (Illustrated & Annotated) V S Vernon Jones

As legend has it, the storyteller Aesop was a slave who lived in ancient Greece during the sixth century B. C. His memorable, recountable fables have brought amusing characters to life and driven home thought-provoking morals for generations of listeners and modern-day readers. Translated into countless languages and familiar to people around the world, Aesop's fables never tarnish despite being told again and again. Translated by V. S. Vernon Jones with an introduction by G. K. Chesterton and illustrated by Arthur Rackham.
