Dust Jacket: Good. 340pp + 4pp publisher's advertisements. Aesop's Fables, retold by Blanche Winder, published by Ward, Lock & Co., Limited [1925]. Illustrated with 48 colour plates by Harry Rountree. From the series of Prince Charming Colour Books for Children. Aesop's Fables' are a collection of fables credited to the Greek fabulist and storyteller Aesop, who was believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. Whilst his existence remains unclear and no writings by him survive, numerous tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling oral tradition, containing similar themes and characters, such as speaking animals and inanimate objects that often display human characteristics. This beautifully illustrated early 20th century edition is undated but is believed to be 1925 and is especially sought after for Rountree's vivid animal artwork and striking illustrated endpapers. Unlike many traditional fable books of the period, the illustrations feel unusually dramatic and atmospheric ? filled with blazing skies, mountain landscapes, watchful animals, and richly coloured scenes throughout. With publisher's advertisements to the rear of the work. Collated, complete with forty-eight colour plates by the prolific and celebrated British illustrator Harry Rountree.
