Aesop’s fables are squeezed into neat limerick-style verses by W. J. Linton, with touches added by Walter Crane, who designed the pictures. The Fox and the Grapes, The Wolf and the Lamb, The Wind and the Sun, King Log and King Stork and The Peacock’s Complaint each end with a moral in capitals, such as Borrowed Plumes Are Soon Discovered.
A small companion to Crane’s Baby’s Opera and Baby’s Bouquet, made for reading aloud to the very young. Download the free EPUB.
