Nancy Schön has created an extraordinary new series of 24 bronze sculptures based on Aesop’s Fables. Each sculpture was produced by the lost wax process and is mounted on an 11 1/2” D. Crema Marfil marble base, mounted on a rotating Lazy Susan bearing. The first edition of 24 are Artist’s Proofs and will be kept together for public showing or ultimately bought and placed in a permanent public location. The next individual sculptures, editions of 6, are now available for sale by contacting Nancy Schön at nancy@schon.com.

“Aesop intrigued me. I was astonished to discover that he was a Greek slave, said to have written 656 fables. Here was a man who was born about 2,500 years ago, yet we are still quoting his morals. Based on the 24 letters in the Greek alphabet, I decided on a 24 sculpture collection. How sad, yet also reassuring, that we human beings have not changed in all these centuries. I believe these sculptures represent and send a profound message, an indication of our humanity!”

Nancy Schön is a Boston based sculptor known for her warm, evocative representations of human and animal figures. She has received many commissions, both private and public, and is best known for her Make Way for Ducklings sculpture in the Boston Public Garden. www.schon.com
Anita Diamant is a prize-winning journalist and the author of 12 books, including the best selling novel, The Red Tent. Based on the biblical story of Dinah, The Red Tent has been published in 25 countries and 20 languages. www.anitadiamant.com

The Complete Fables (Penguin Classics) [Paperback]

Aesop (Author), Robert Temple (Translator, Introduction), Olivia Temple (Translator) 

'Many people are not in the least disturbed at the harm that befalls them, provided they can see their enemies’ downfall first’
In a series of pithy, amusing vignettes, Aesop created a vivid cast of characters to demonstrate different aspects of human nature. Here we see a wily fox outwitted by a quick-thinking cicada, a tortoise triumphing over a self-confident hare and a fable-teller named Aesop silencing those who mock him. Each jewel-like fable provides a warning about the consequences of wrong-doing, as well as offering a glimpse into the everyday lives of Ancient Greeks.
This definitive edition is the first translation into English of the entire corpus of 358 unbowdlerized fables. It is fully annotated, with an introduction that rescues the fables from a tradition of moralistic interpretation.

About the Author

Aesop probably lived in the middle part of the sixth century BC. A statement in Herodotus gives ground for thinking that he was a slave belonging to a citizen of Samos called Iadmon. Legend says that he was ugly and misshapen. There are many references to Aesop found in the Athenian writers: Aristophanes, Xenophon, Plato, Aristotle and others. It is not known whether he wrote down his Fables himself, nor indeed how many of them are correctly attributed to his invention.
