Frederick's Fables : A Treasury of 16 Favorite Leo Lionni Stories

About Specification

In honor of the 30th anniversary of the publication of "Frederick,"

Knopf is pleased to issue an expanded collector's edition of Leo Lionni's

timeless tales that celebrate the power of imagination and the human spirit.

With the addition of three new titles — "Matthew's Dream, An Extraordinary

Egg," and "Six Crows" — this magnificent treasury now contains 16

unabridged stories, including three Caldecott Honor books and Lionni's

inimitable full-color artwork gracing every page. Add a striking new cover and

a fascinating introduction by the author, and this is a volume no Lionni fan

will want to be without.

In a pointer review of the 1985 edition, "Kirkus Reviews" said, "Lionni's

stories are simple and elegant, his pictures are nothing short of stunning.

Splashy colors, inventive collages, whimsy, and a sense of wonder are all here

in abundance. A splendid collection...not to be missed."
