| Antique Print Fairy Tale Fable ArtBeautiful illustration by the wonderful British illustrator Arthur Rackham. Aesop's are some of the best known and well-loved of all fables: in the words of G K Chesterton:
"These ancient and universal tales are all of animals; whether fables began with Aesop or began with Adam, whether they were German and mediaeval as Reynard the Fox, or as French an Renaissance as La Fontaine, the upshot is everywhere essentially the same: that superiority is always insolent, because it is always accidental; that pride goes before a fall; and that there is such a thing as being too clever by half. There is every type and time of fable: but there is only one moral to the fable; because there is only one moral to everything."
Aesop's Fables have had the privilege of being illustrated by some of the finest of illustrators including Rackham, Dore and Griset. Rackham's illustrations are particularly subtle and striking.Showing the Fox and Wolf arguing in front of the judge - the ape, dressed in gown and wig with quill pen.
