Ernest Griset – illustratör

Aisopos fabler upphör aldrig att fascinera med sina eviga visdomar och sanningar. Vem känner inte till uttryck som »surt sa räven» från Räven och vindruvorna eller kapplöpningen mellan Haren och sköldpaddan, bland mycket annat. Boken är rikt illustrerad med Ernest Grisets klassiska bilder.(Observera att detta är originalversioner av fablerna främst riktade till vuxna. Yngre barn bör läsa fablerna i vuxens sällskap.)

Aesop's Fables features more than 200 fables, specially selected for young readers and beautifully illustrated with engravings and color plates by Arthur Rackham, Walter Crane, and Ernest Griset. It includes all of the classic fables whose titles and morals have become part of our common cultural vocabulary, among them "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," "The Tortoise and the Hare," "The City Mouse and the Country Mouse," "The Dog in the Manger," and "The Fox and the Grapes." Part fairy tale, part fantasy story, part parable with a lesson to impart, each of these fables is a polished gem of storytelling craft whose luster never dulls. Aesop's Fables is one of Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an exquisitely designed foil-stamped binding, with distinctive gilt edging and an attractive ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectible, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for any home library.
