A collection of charming and enduring stories that convey morals to
young and old alike. Aesop was a slave and storyteller who lived in
ancient Greece around 620-564 BC. No writings by him exist (if they
ever existed at all), yet numerous stories and tales have been
credited to him and have been shared through oral tradition
throughout the world. Many of these use animals as the main
characters to convey deeper meanings and morals that have become
ingrained in our cultural--and personal--belief systems. For
example, in "The Goatherd and the Goat" we learn that there is no
use trying to hide what can't be hidden. In "The Ass and the
Purchaser" we find that people are known by the company they keep.
In "The Boys and the Frogs," one person's pleasure may be another
person's pain. "The Dogs and the Fox" show how easy it is to kick a
man when he's down. And misery loves company, as we see in "The Fox
Without a Tail." * This beautiful book comes with luxurious
endpapers, a beautiful and stylish heat-burnished cover, and a
convenient 5 x 7 size. * The widely popular collection of stories
has sold millions of copies and has been translated into countless
languages and dialects. Aesop's Fables have been one of the world's
most charming collections of stories that have influenced thousands
of other literary works. About the Word Cloud Classics series:

Far from fading with time, Kenneth Grahame's classic tale of
fantasy has attracted a growing audience in each generation. Rat,
Mole, Badger and the preposterous Mr Toad (with his
'Poop-poop-poop' road-hogging new motor-car), have brought delight
to many through the years with their odd adventures on and by the
river, and at the imposing residence of Toad Hall. Grahame's book
was later dramatised by A. A. Milne, and became a perennial
Christmas favourite, as Toad of Toad Hall. It continues to enchant
and, above all perhaps, inspire great affection.

"The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be
able to do it." -J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan Join Peter, Wendy, Tinker
Bell, and a cast of other familiar characters on a fantastical
journey in the Word Cloud Classics' Peter Pan. Included in this
volume are the famous novel-Peter and Wendy (1911)-about the "boy
who never grew up" and his adventures in Neverland, as well as a
lesser-known prequel entitled Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens
(1906), which tells the story of Pan's early years in London. This
lively volume weaves a tale that is universally relatable and
wildly popular for adults and children alike.
Jacob Grimm (1785-1863) and his brother Wilhelm (1786-1859) were
philologists and folklorists. The brothers rediscovered a host of
fairy tales, telling of princes and princesses in their castles,
witches in their towers and forests, of giants and dwarfs, of
fabulous animals and dark deeds. Together with the well-known tales
of Rapunzel, The Goose-Girl, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel and
Snow White, there are the darker tales such as Death's Messengers
which deserve to be better known, and which will appeal not only to
all who are interested in the history of folklore, but also to all
those who simply love good story-telling.
Superb collection of 55 lovely plates, reproduced from rare, early editions, includes a rich selection of fairy tale images by one of England's leading illustrators of the early 20th century. Includes scenes from Irish Fairy Tales, English Fairy Tales, Hansel and Gretel, Snowdrop and Other Tales, Little Brother & Little Sister, and more. A dazzling archive for lovers of art, Rackham devotees, and fairy tale enthusiasts.

Comedy of Errors Hamlet Macbeth The Merchant of Venice Othello
