About This Item
London: Bloomsbury Books [1-870630-35-1] 1987. (4to) 224pp. Very good plus in very good dust jacket. Illustrations. The top edge of the spine is frayed, and the dust jacket is chipped at the top of the spine and at the top corners. "The cautionary or edifying lesson has never appealed more to man than when cloaked in the bright and poetic imagery of the Fable. Animals are endowed with human qualities and serve thus to highlight our own shortcomings and folly". Illustrations by Gustave Dore. Translated by Elizur Wright. (Folklore, Fables, Folklore, Juvenile, Mythology).
