Charles Robinson war ein produktiver britischer Buchillustrator. Seine Werke zeichnen sich durch feine Linienführung und eine poetische Atmosphäre aus, die oft traumhafte und fantastische Szenen darstellen.

Sein Einfluss auf die visuelle Gestaltung vieler Bücher ist bis heute spürbar.

This collection features 203 of Aesop’s most enduring and popular fables, translated into modern English and illustrated with classic woodcuts by the renowned artist J. J. Grandville. Aesop, a Greek slave who lived over two thousand years ago, has left an indelible mark on language and moral education. Phrases like “sour grapes,” “crying ‘wolf,’” and “actions speak louder than words” are just a few examples of the metaphors and ideas that have become integral to Western culture, all originating from Aesop’s Fables. As an extraordinary storyteller, Aesop used cunning foxes, surly dogs, clever mice, fearsome lions, and foolish humans to depict the realities of a harsh world. His narratives are appealing, humorous, politically astute, and profoundly true. The morals of his stories continue to resonate, affecting us both intellectually and emotionally. This collection includes beloved fables such as “The Fox and the Grapes,” “The Ants and the Grasshopper,” and “The Country Mouse and the Town Mouse,” among many others.

Он щедро одаривал окружающих удивительными историями, не утруждаясь их не то что публиковать, но даже записывать. Но девять сказок, которые он рассказал своим сыновьям, всё-таки были опубликованы. В России дети узнали их благодаря переводам большого поклонника таланта Уайльда и ценителя его творчества Михаила Ликиардопуло. И пожалуй, если бы литературное наследие Оскара Уайльда не дошло до потомков, двух книг его сказок ("Счастливый принц" и "Гранатовый домик") оказалось бы вполне достаточно, чтобы имя английского писателя вошло в золотой фонд литературы
