This book is a beautifully illustrated edition of Aesop's fables, selected and retold by the celebrated English wood-engraver and naturalist Thomas Bewick.

The first part offers an account of the life of Aesop, the legendary author of the fables, while the second part contains an essay on the nature and utility of fables. The book is a masterpiece of wood engraving and a testament to Bewick's skill as an artist and storyteller. Bewick's Select Fables of sop and Others is a timeless classic that continues to enchant readers of all ages.
