Description

1887 Babys Own Aesop Fables WALTER CRANE Illustrated Childrens Tortoise & Hare

“The Babys Own Aesop” is a charming collection of 56 timeless fables of Aesop turned into rhymed narratives accompanied by moral lessons, aimed to engage children. Compiled and illustrated by Walter Crane who pictorially outlines each fable along with the skilled engraving and color printing work of Edmund Evans, the book becomes a visual delight replete with colorful full-page, in-text, and border illustrations. This vibrant rendition introduces children to classic tales like “The Crow and the Pitcher”, “The Goose that laid the Golden Eggs”, “The Hare and the Tortoise”, and many more! Bringing moral teachings alive through an enchanting blend of rhyme and color. This collection was the final work in a three-part series of childrens book by Walter Crane and was published as a companion to its predecessors, “The Babys Opera” and “The Babys Bouquet”.

Walter Crane, a pivotal figure in the late 19th-century childrens literature realm, introduced vibrant, garden-themed motifs in many of his works. Part of the Arts and Crafts movement, Cranes vast repertoire includes paintings, illustrations, and decorative arts, making him a significant voice not just in literature but in the broader artistic community.
