The Aesop illustrations contain several self-caricatures of Rackham, including the man who catches the flea. Rackhams artitistic ability was recognized early and he developed his talents over a lifetime of work. He had a penchant for the fantastic and many of the subjects he drew displayed dark or disturbing characteristics. The Fables was one of a series of yearly publications illustrated by Rackham for the Christmas season. It is somewhat unusual in that there are several self caricatures and a drawing of his home in Chalot Gardens.Rackham was well-suited to give us these classic animal tales and his creatures are wonderful. There is a quality that presents the morality tales with a touch of softness to the youthful reader.A nice copy of a special childrens book.Filled with the classic fables we all know and love including The Fox and the Grapes, The Cat and the Mice, The Bear and the Fox and tons more. Introduction by G.K. Chesterton.
