A good copy only.<br /> <br /> "In Aesop's Fables 1912.Rackham's primary intention was to amuse but his illustrations for fables of 'The Moon and her Mother' and 'The Gnat and the Lion' suggest the imaginative refinement that he brought to the task. Rackham was often his own model; there are several self-caricatures to be detected in Aesop's Fables. He is the man who catches the flea the pompous gentleman who scoldsd the drowning boy the credulous slave-owner who scrubs the black boy" Hudson Derek. Arthur Rackham His Life and Work p. 94.<br /> <br /> Aesop's Fables or the Aesopica is a collection of fables credited to Aesop a slave and story-teller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 560 BC.<br /> <br /> The 1st century AD philosopher Apollonius of Tyana is recorded as having said about Aesop: ". like those who dine well off the plainest dishes he made use of humble incidents to teach great truths and after serving up a story he adds to it the advice to do a thing or not to do it. Then too he was really more attached to truth than the poets are; for the latter do violence to their own stories in order to make them probable; but he by announcing a story which everyone knows not to be true told the truth by the very fact that he did not claim to be relating real events" Philostratus Life of Apollonius of Tyana Book V:14.<br /> <br /> Latimore and Haskell pp. 38-39; Riall p. 111.

1912187472London: William Heinemann 1912. Fables and fairy tales Signed limited edition number 379 of 1450 copies signed by the artist. It is also the first edition of this translation by Vernon Jones. "The peculiar secret of Rackham's success in seizing upon the essence of the human and portraying it in animal form which is after all the basic device of the morality is unwittingly touched upon in Chesterton's delightful introduction to the 1912 edition of Aesop's Fables: 'There can be no good fable with human beings in it. There can be no good fairy tale without them.' Rackham's genius is such that it bridges the two and carries the didactic fable into the realm of fairy story and lends to the imaginative world of fairies a tangible and convincing reality" Gettings pp. 83-84. Quarto. Frontispiece and 12 plates all in colour and tipped to brown art paper with tissue guards captioned in brown as issued 19 full-page black and white illustrations line drawings in the text.
