A stunning collection of forty of Aesop’s less well-known but equally absorbing fables retold to capture the clever and humorous twists of the originals. All of them reflect the significant characteristics of the animals, humans or natural phenomenon at the heart of the story as well as offering a clear message for all. In The Moon and the Mother, the Moon asks a dressmaker who she often spies working by the light of the moon to make her a cloak.
The dressmaker declines on the ground that it is impossible to make a cloak for something that is forever changing its shape! Glorious illustrations by Fulvio Testa capture the humour at the heart of Aesop.
This anthology revitalizes forty of Aesop's lesser-known fables, which have been rewritten by the talented anthologist, Fiona Waters, and sumptuously illustrated by renowned artist, Fulvio Testa. The collection includes fables such as The Fisherman and his Music, The Leopard and the Fox, The Eagle and the Arrow, The Astronomer and The Wolf and the Goat.
