Description
This collection of AEsop's stories is based on the nineteenth century research and translation of George Fyler Townsend, returns the fables to the adult audience for which they were intended. All the charm and wit of AEsop are in the tales, but they have a style and sophistication lacking in the juvenile editions.

Description
Arthur Rackhams artworks bring a distinctive vein of dark humour to the many classic works he graced in the Golden Age of Illustration. His energetic, dense creations are perfectly suited to the powerful tales of the early Celts, and the later stories of an Ireland of mighty hearths, dreaming of battlefield glory, ancient gods and mystical isles.
