Books with author John Tenniel

The present collection of Sir John Tenniel’s Cartoons is intended to be a selection comprising the more memorable of those which have appeared in “Punch” during the last 50 years. The first in the collection bears the date of 1851, and the last is Sir John Tenniel’s final Cartoon in January, 1901. Short explanatory notes have been provided, but as most of them will, perhaps, be unnecessary to those to whom the Cartoons themselves are familiar, they have been grouped together and combined with the Table of Contents at the commencement of the volume, where they can readily be referred to.

The Fox and the Grapes, The Goose Who Laid the Golden Eggs, The Boy Who Cried Wolf--these and the rest of the brief allegorical tales known for over 2500 years as Aesop's Fables are not just simple children's stories, but a vital part of our culture. The reason is obvious to any casual reader--the frailties and vanities embodied by the animal and human protagonists of the Fables still offer an accurate portrait of society, and the pithy truth of each fable's moral serves not only as a dramatic punctuation mark, but also as a timely reminder of the immutability of human nature. This elegantly designed edition, containing 182 of the original tales reworked into modern English, is enhanced with 65 evocative black and white engravings by John Tenniel, who also created the original illustrations for Alice in Wonderland.
