Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Many children are familiar with Aesop’s fables, but it is a fair bet that few know much about the storyteller himself.... Pamela Zagarenski’s luminous, slightly distempered artwork brings richness and delicacy to this beautiful volume."—Wall Street Journal ★ "Lovely art comes with unusual perspectives on familiar tales about lions, mice, and trickster foxes." —Kirkus, STARRED review "Zagarenski’s fantastical illustrations, rendered in blues and golden tones, are full of charming incongruities finely detailed." —Publishers Weekly "Lendler gives depth to a collection of Aesop’s fables by incorporating them into the story of their teller’s life.... [L]avishly illustrated."—The Horn Book "Exquisitely beautiful."—Elizabeth Bird, Fuse #8 —
