The fables of Aesop have been told for thousands of years, all over the world. In this treasury for readers of all ages, Holly Berry offers nine such tellings, each with its distinctive regional flavor and her gorgeous polychrome woodcuts. She includes "The Heron" (as told near New England marshes); "The Lion and the Mouse" (African plains); "The Ants and the Grasshopper" (China); "The Tortoise and the Hare" (American Southwest); "The Fox and the Grapes" (Israel); "The Bear and the Bees" (Andes Mountains); "The Crow and the Pitcher" (Greece); "The Two Goats" (Swiss Alps); and "The Wolf and the Crane" (Siberia).
