“This is only a small selection, to which must be added a considerable number of reviews. But perhaps the most important of all is this new book, the culmination of Dr. van Dijk’s work of many years and an important complement to the History of the Graeco-Latin Fable. Thanks to him, the entire European tradition of the fable has been gathered together and can be studied easily”. (From the preface by Prof. Francisco Rodríguez Adrados)
