A collection in three parts: fables drawn from Robert Dodsley’s edition, fables with reflections in prose and verse, and fables in verse, each with its moral. It opens with a life of Aesop and an essay on fable, and includes such pieces as the miller, his son and their ass, and the butterfly and the rose.
A different book from Bewick’s later Fables of Aesop, prized for its engravings. Download the free EPUB.
