Praise for Animal Fables from Aesop
“The graceful full-color illustrations are both delicate and
theatrical. . . . The whole feel of this book is in the tradition
of La Fontaine: gay, witty, full of charm and foible.”—The New York
Times
“McClintock proves herself a master. Her delicate line and
exquisite watercolors suggest elegant Victorian hand-colored
engravings in the grand tradition of J.J. Grandville, Charles
Bennett, and Randolph Caldecott.”—Washington Post Book World
“McClintock’s wittily stylish illustrations have the charm and
detail of 19th-century children’s books. Her human-like animals are
marvelously lively and expressive.”—Entertainment Weekly
“As one would expect from Godine, the book is beautifully done. . .
. McClintock’s vision and artistry make this new edition a joy to
behold and to hold. . . . A stunning gift book for all ages, and
one that should have a shelf life of generations.”—Bloomsbury
Review
