"An Argosy of Fables," is a unique and impressively beautiful book with more than six hundred fables and twenty-four illustrations by Paul Bransom. The illustrations alone would make this book remarkable.

Combined this with its comprehensive collection of fable literature as well, it is easy to see that "An Argosy of Fables" is truly an important achievement.

This fine representative selection of fable literature from every age and land has been edited by Frederic Taber
Cooper. Paul Bransom's illustrations are rich in action, depicting for the most part the animals and beasts who figure so largely in fables, making this book alive, fascinating and not merely scholarly and instructive.
