The Fables of Aesop

Abstract

Bennett's original black-and-white drawings make for a nice contrast with their better known colored version, to be found in Viking's 1978 edition and Bracken's 1986. The morals here are much shorter and less socially dated than in Viking's 1978 redoing; I suspect that the latter better represents Bennett. Finding this edition for the first time was a lovely surprise on a Saturday afternoon!
