Description
|
|
|
|
The illustrator of The Cockerel and the Fox, shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal, Helen Ward here offers a subtle and exquisite presentation of Aesop's fables for all ages. Retelling her favorite 12 lessons—the wolf in sheep's clothing, the grasshopper and the ant, and lesser-known tales like the stork and the fox—Ward gives each a beautiful title page and then decorates the text with pale borders and delicate smaller drawings. Her illustrations are finely detailed ink drawings washed with rich watercolors, both precise and expressive, and her poetic storytelling is every bit as elegant.
