3.0 out of 5 stars beautiful pictures, but short on the story, 6 Sep 2005
By Mr. Philip Duncan "philducont" (london) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Aesop's fables are beautifully, beautifully illustrated in this edition - I'm glad i got it just for the pictures, which are lovely.
I should say, the prose is wooden and parsed in some cases (eg: the dog and his reflection) to the point of being quite befuddling if you don't already know the story.
If you're happy reading this to your children and embellishing the stories yourself from memory it's a great buy for the pictures, which are charming and full of details, otherwise try another edition.
