"'Endangered Species' is a major contribution both to the art of the fable and the art of the woodblock print. It is also devastatingly funny, as well as incisive, wry, and delectable to own. Fritz Eichenberg, whose book illustrations for the classics in limited editions are internationally renowned, is the author and illustrator of the fables here assembled. His own woodcuts are combines with the spontaneous and witty preliminary drawings for the fables. Eight of these drawings are in full color. In essence, these fables, woodcuts, and drawings are a revelation of the progress of art, from the wood to drawing to the final woodblock masterpiece." -- dust-jacket.
