Throughout his life L'Estrange was frequently mired in controversy and acted as a staunch ideological defender of King Charles II's regime during the Restoration era. His works played a key role in the emergence of a distinct 'Tory' bloc during the Exclusion Crisis of 1679-81. Perhaps his best known polemical pamphlet was An Account of the Growth of Knavery, which ruthlessly attacked the parliamentary opposition to Charles II and his successor James, Duke of York (later King James II), placing them as fanatics who misused contemporary popular anti-Catholic sentiment to attack the Restoration court and the existing social order in order to pursue their own political ends. The Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the collapse of the Restoration political order heralded the end of L'Estrange's career in public life, although his greatest translation work, that of Aesop's Fables, saw publication in 1692. Aesop (c. 620-564 BCE; formerly rendered as Æsop) was a Greek fabulist and storyteller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. Although his existence remains unclear and 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 associated with him are characterized by anthropomorphic animal characters. Illustrated By: Edward J. Detmold Edward Julius Detmold (21 November 1883 Putney, Wandsworth, Surrey - 1 July 1957 Montgomery) and his twin brother Charles Maurice Detmold (1883-1908) were prolific Victorian and early twentieth century book illustrators. The twins mastered the techniques of watercolour etching and of colour printing with copper plates, buying a printing press and producing their own proofs at home. In 1898 they compiled a portfolio of colour etchings of animals and flowering plants done in the Japanese style. These were much sought after and were rapidly sold out. They collaborated on the etchings and illustrations for their first book Pictures From Birdland published in 1899. In 1911, Detmold worked on illustrations for Maurice Maeterlinck's The Life of the Bee. Edward Julius became one of the most talented of illustrators, depicting animals and plants with an extraordinary understanding, and making use of fantasy settings of architecture and landscape. He also published three short unillustrated works (two of them issued anonymously), expressing his spiritual beliefs.

First Calder edition, limited issue, number 262 of 595 copies on Auvergne paper from a total edition of 665, scarce retaining both the slipcase and the paper-knife. The text of the present edition is based Roger L'Estrange's ground-breaking translation of Aesop's Fables (1692). Harrison of Paris was founded by publisher and heiress Barbara Harrison Wescott (1904-1977) and art patron and curator Monroe Wheeler (1899-1988) in 1930. Wheeler designed this book, the pale blue covers of which were made from schoolchildren's aprons (Becker, p. 62). The illustrator, Alexander Calder, came from a long line of sculptors, and first took up printmaking after moving to Paris in 1926, where he befriended Marcel Duchamp, Fernand Leger, Joan Miró, and Piet Mondrian.

Original light blue paper-covered boards, front cover lettered in dark blue with Calder illustration, edges untrimmed, endleaves uncut. With the original paper knife loosely inserted. Housed in the original red card chemise and slipcase. A touch of foxing to wrappers, faint offsetting from paper-knife on half-title. A near-fine copy, a little wear to slipcase.
