A Collection of Aesop's Fables & Aesop's Funky Fables

Beschreibung

Three very smart first edition volumes of Aesop's fables, retold for children. With bright illustrations throughout. Three volumes. Illustrated throughout with colour images. A collection of the fables attributed to Aesop, a Greek fabulist and storyteller noted for his tales characterized by anthropomorphic animal characters. Many of the tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day. Each volume contains two of these classic tales. This set contains: A Collection of Aesop's Fables, 1997. First edition. With stories including: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, The Quack Frog, and The Fortune Teller, amongst others. Retold by Deborah Campbell-Todd, a British children's book author. Illustrated by Pam Storey, an English self-taught artist and illustrator. Aesop's Funky Fables, 1997. First hardcover edition, first impression. With stories written in to catchy rap-rhythms, including: The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Fox and the Stork, and The Hare and the Tortoise, amongst others. Retold by Vivian June Isoult French, a British writer of picture book texts, novels, plays, and non-fiction for children and young adults. Illustrated by Hamish Vigne Christie "Korky" Paul, a Rhodesian-born British illustrator of children's books. Aesop's Funky Fables, 1999. First softcover edition by Puffin Books, first impression. In the original pictorial paper covered boards. Externally, excellent. The hardcover edition of Funk Fables is bound with the original unclipped dust wrapper which is also in excellent condition.
