Aesop was a fabulist or story teller credited with a number of
fables now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. Although his
existence remains uncertain and (if they ever existed) no writings
by him survive, numerous tales credited to him were gathered across
the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition
that continues to this day. Many of the tales are characterized by
animals and inanimate objects that speak, solve problems, and
generally have human characteristics.
Arthur Rackham (1867–1939) was a British illustrator.
Walter Crane (1845–1915) was an English artist, book illustrator,
and one of the most influential children’s book creators of his
generation. Crane produced not only paintings and illustrations for
children's books, but also ceramic tiles and other decorative arts.
From 1859 to 1862, Crane was apprenticed to wood-engraver William
James Linton and had the opportunity to study works by many
contemporary artists, including Sir John Tenniel, the illustrator
of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.
