Helen Ward New Paperback Illustrated
Postscript summary
A vain jackdaw borrowing feathers, a greedy dog fooled by the lure of something better than he has, a hare whose confidence leads to a downfall – capturing the simplicity of the message behind each story, Helen Ward accompanies her retellings of 12 of Aesop’s fables with watercolour images. Age 6+
Product information
Full publisher description
Few stories have endured as long as the fables of Aesop. In this magnificent edition, award-winning illustrator Helen Ward has chosen a dozen of her favourite fables to create this breath-taking classic new collection to grace every bookshelf and bedside.
The experiences described in the tales apply to us all and the lessons learned are both timeless and universal. Each creature comes to symbolise in its own way some particular aspect of the human condition - the sly fox, the silly crow, the majestic lion; all acting out their parts, uncomprehending, in the great game of life. Fear, greed, arrogance, stupidity, all these and more put in an appearance, leaping straight to the heart of our understanding from each page of this exquisitely illustrated edition.
Includes the tales: The Hare and the Tortoise, The Lion and the Mouse and The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs.
