Not much is known about the life of Aesop. He was a slave who lived in Greece around 620-563 BC, and hundreds of fables are attributed to him. He was believed to be tongue-tied, but miraculously received the power of speech and became a legendary storyteller.

Milo Winter was born in Princeton, Illinois, USA, on 7th August 1888. He was a well-known book illustrator of the ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ which occurred in Europe and America in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.

He studied at Chicago’s ‘School of the Arts Institute’, and published his first illustrated book, Billy Popgun (1912), a year after graduating. It was published with ‘Houghton Mifflin’. Winter lived in Chicago until the early 1950s, when he moved to New York City. He created illustrations for most of his adult life, and gained recognition by doing illustrations for ‘East Coast Publications.’
