NEW! Aesop’s Fables Book Poster

Aesop's Fables book poster mock-up Books on the Wall

We’re excited announce the latest addition to our small book poster line: a 17″x11″ book poster featuring 212 fables from Aesop’s Fables.

The poster contains a minimalist illustration of one of Aesop’s most famous tales, “The Hare and the Tortoise”:

A Hare was one day making fun of a Tortoise for being so slow upon his feet. “Wait a bit,” said the Tortoise; “I’ll run a race with you, and I’ll wager that I win.” “Oh, well,” replied the Hare, who was much amused at the idea, “let’s try and see”; and it was soon agreed that the fox should set a course for them, and be the judge. When the time came both started off together, but the Hare was soon so far ahead that he thought he might as well have a rest: so down he lay and fell fast asleep. Meanwhile the Tortoise kept plodding on, and in time reached the goal. At last the Hare woke up with a start, and dashed on at his fastest, but only to find that the Tortoise had already won the race.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Other particularly famous fables included on this poster are “The Crow and the Pitcher,” “The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing,” and “The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse.”
