Samuel Croxall’s eighteenth-century English version of the fables, each followed by a moral and a longer ‘application’ drawing a lesson for conduct. The fox and the grapes, the wolf and the lamb, the dog in the manger and scores of other beasts and men appear, in an edition decorated with more than a hundred emblematic cuts.
The version of Aesop that schooled generations of English readers, with its own period flavour. Download the free EPUB.
