Growing up, Aesop Fables were some of my favourite things to read. Now I collect books related to them. This one I had bought from a charity shop I believe.
Super lovely illustrations and I think I read some new fables, if they weren't I don't remember reading them. My favourites were the beekeeper and the bees, the oak and the reeds and the trees and the axe.
My favourite illustration was from the lark and the farmer.
