BRIAN WILDSMITH’S FAVOURITE FABLES
A compilation of 5 La Fontaine Fables:
The Lion and the Rat,
The North Wind and the Sun,
The Rich Man and the Shoe-maker,
The Hare and the Tortoise, and
The Miller, the Boy and the Donkey.
A beautiful collection of five well-loved fables for parents and children to share simply retold and sumptuously illustrated by Brian Wildsmith. We meet a boastful hare as he challenges a slow-and-steady tortoise to a race. We see how a bag of coins threatens to rob a simple shoemaker of his happiness. We discover that the Sun's gentle warmth is more than a match for the North Wind's bluster. We join a miller, a boy, and a donkey on their eventful journey. And we witness a little rat's kindness and courage in helping a mighty lion. These are lovely stories for adults to share with children over and over again.
