Aesop's Fables

A little mouse saves the life of a great lion; hungry Grasshopper, too lazy to store food, gets no mercy from the industrious ants; crafty Jackal tricks Klipspringer to escape death — but is himself tricked by the cock and the dog. Selected for their wit and morals, here are 16 of Aesop's wise, witty, and timeless fables, portrayed for the first time in an African setting. This is an exciting new interpretation of one of the world's great classics, vividly illustrated by Piet Grobler, the internationally acclaimed South African illustrator of Fussy Freya and The Great Tug of War.
