The Aesop for Children: With Pictures by Milo Winter
1919
These fables have been teaching children how to live for over two and a half thousand years, and Milo Winter's 1919 illustrations give them wings. Here are 126 of the best-loved tales: the Tortoise who beats the arrogant Hare through steady persistence, the Wolf who hides in sheep's clothing to do evil, the clever Fox who escapes danger through quick thinking, the Boy who cries Wolf until no one believes him when danger is real. Each story features animals who think and speak like humans, and each ends with a crisp moral that distills hard-won wisdom into a single sentence a child can carry. Winter's full-color pictures, round-bodied lions, sharp-nosed foxes, wide-eyed geese, make these creatures unforgettable. This is the book generations of parents have read aloud at bedtime, handing down the same stories their own grandparents loved. For children ready to learn that the world has rules, and that knowing them matters.
