Description: A hardcover edition of "Aesop's Fables for Modern Readers" by Eric Carle. Complete with a dust jacket and illustrations, this book is a timeless classic. An early work by Carle which was published in 1956 before he became famous for his children's books BROWN BEAR and THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR. Carle began illustrating books in the late 1950s including dustjacket art for several science fiction novels. His first children's books are beginning books about science and math and are illustrated in a classic style with straight lines. With this edition of Aesop, we see the first example of his use of animal motifs and the collage artistic style for which he became famous. Various online sources claim Carle's 1967 book BROWN BEAR as his first illustrated book, a claim which is simply wrong. In fact, this edition of Aesop is the first example of Carle's animal illustrations. This is an uncommon edition which is not often found in collectible condition. The book is in very good vintage condition. The dust jacket has some age related wear. Please look closely at all photos for description. This amazing illustrated book by Eric Carle has been preloved for almost 60 years and as such there may be expected age related wear.
