Media reviews
"An unusually attractive edition." Kirkus Reviews
"Each of the concisely written fables, followed by its pithy moral in boldface italics, is illustrated by a single etching on the facing page. . . . [T]he book is a tribute to the beauty of black and white, matching wonderful, bold design with rich detail." The New York Times
"Bader's thought-provoking introduction discusses the origins of what the world knows as Aesop's fables. . . . Small detailed creatures set against the buff backgrounds exquisitely personify the emotions and dilemmas." Booklist, ALA, Boxed Review
