1882 Aesop’s Fables Illustrated by John Tenniel English AESOP Fontaine Tales

“A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him.”

― Aesop, Aesop’s Fables

Aesop’s fables have been printed for centuries and include some of the most famous fables and tales of all time. Aesop’s Fables have been printed for centuries, but few editions gain the popularity that this work did. In 1848, Thomas James published a ‘new version’ of the fables illustrated by the famous John Tenniel, who today is most known for his illustrations in the Alice in Wonderland books.  This work features over 100 illustrations from Tenniel and is highly desirable!
