ReviewsPraise for Animal Fables from Aesop "The graceful full-color illustrations are both delicate and theatrical. . . . The whole feel of this book is in the tradition of La Fontaine: gay, witty, full of charm and foible."-- The New York Times "McClintock proves herself a master. Her delicate line and exquisite watercolors suggest elegant Victorian hand-colored engravings in the grand tradition of J.J. Grandville, Charles Bennett, and Randolph Caldecott."-- Washington Post Book World "McClintock's wittily stylish illustrations have the charm and detail of 19th-century children's books. Her human-like animals are marvelously lively and expressive."-- Entertainment Weekly "As one would expect from Godine, the book is beautifully done. . . . McClintock's vision and artistry make this new edition a joy to behold and to hold. . . . A stunning gift book for all ages, and one that should have a shelf life of generations."-- Bloomsbury Review

SynopsisShare timeless wisdom with your children in these classic fables of Aesop, wonderfully illustrated with fabulous animal characters by Barbara McClintock. Nine timeless fables, first told by the Greek Aesop, selected, adapted, and illustrated by Barbara McClintock. This read-aloud collection includes such familiar tales as "The Fox and the Grapes" and the lesser-known "The Wolf and the Lamb" and "The Crow and the Peacocks." Each fable is brought to life by McClintock's uncanny ability to capture humanity, with all its strengths and weaknesses, in the expressions of her exquisitely drawn costumed creations--filled with the delicacy of line and color that has come to be her trademark. The New York Times said, "The graceful full-color illustrations are both delicate and theatrical. . . . witty, full of charm and foible." Entertainment Weekly said, "McClintock's wittily stylish illustrations have the charm and detail of 19th-century children's books. Her human-like animals are marvelously lively and expressive." This is a treasury with wise and funny stories you'll love discussing, time and again, with children.
