London, John Lane The Bodley Head; Angus & Robertson, 1899-1977. First edition. Cloth. Two scarce editions of Aesop's fables, including the very scarce first edition of the Percy J.

Billinghurst.Illustrated with a frontispiece, and with full page illustrations throughout - included in the pagination - from illustrator and bookplate designer Percy J. Billinghurst. The second volume is the scarce 1977 first edition of George Beal's retelling of the fables, which also features Billinghurst's illustrations throughout.Aesop's Fables are a collection of brief moral tales attributed to a storyteller believed to have lived in ancient Greece around the 6th century BCE. These tales typically feature animals as characters who embody human traits and behaviours, teaching practical life lessons through their interactions. Classic fables like "The Tortoise and the Hare," "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," and "The Ant and the Grasshopper" use simple narratives to convey enduring wisdom about virtues such as perseverance, honesty, and hard work.Housed in a cloth slip case In the publisher's original pictorial cloth bindings, housed in cloth slip case.
