About the book >.>.> Aesop has remained popular through the ages for two simple reasons-he was a shrewd observer of human nature and he was a gifted storyteller. He was the first to prove that a tale with a sharp moral lesson can also be thoroughly amusing. From the famous story of the Tortoise and the Hare to the lesser-known fable of the Monkey and the Camel this book offers a fine assortment of Aesop at his best. Aesop is a master of characterization scene and setting and the illustrations by Gisela D?rr match him stroke for stroke with a sure hand and a warm heart. She has created engaging pencil drawings for each story superbly reproduced using a duotone printing process. (SP)
