Told and Retold: Around the World with Aesop’s Fables

This picture book gathers brief retellings of Aesop’s fables from many parts of the world. Its tales include versions of “The Ants and the Grasshopper” and “The Lion and the Mouse.” Collaged linoleum-block prints on colored paper accompany the stories. Holly Berry’s hand-carved woodcuts also illustrate the book, connecting its visual art with fables shared across regions.
