The Fables of Aesop, with a Life of the Author, and Embellished with 112 Plates

by Samuel Croxall

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

I mostly wanted to satisfy my curiosity and expose myself to these fables. I was surprised at how few I actually knew. I love the language and writing style of the time period and enjoyed that as much as the stories themselves.
