A collection of poems by young leaders across Africa.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

For 25 centuries, the animal stories which go by the name of
Aesop’s Fables have amused and instructed generations of children
and adults alike. They are still as fresh and poignant today as
they were to the ancient Greeks who composed them. This beautifully
illustrated edition contains some of the best-loved fables,
including the Boy who cried Wolf, the Lion and the Mouse, the Goose
that Laid the Golden Egg, the Hare and the Tortoise, and The Town
Mouse and the Country Mouse alongside many of the lesser-known
tales. These timeless stories are illustrated with 35 wood
engravings by Agnes Miller Parker (1895–1980), one of the
greatest British wood engraving artists of the twentieth century.
Parker was influenced by the art of Wyndham Lewis and the Cubist
and Vorticist movements which flourished in the period between the
wars. Her distinctive work is strikingly stylised and deceptively
simple. Commissioned in the 1930s by the fine press publisher,
Gregynog Press, for their edition of the work, these exquisite wood
engravings inspired by the fables are among Parker's finest.
