"The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse" is one of Aesop's Fables, a collection of stories attributed to Aesop, a storyteller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. The fable centers on two mice of contrasting lifestyles—one from the city and the other from the country—and their experiences when they visit each other's homes. The narrative conveys the moral that it is better to live a modest life in peace than a wealthy one in constant fear.

In 1912, the fable was illustrated by Arthur Rackham, an English book illustrator recognized for his influential work in the early 20th century's Golden Age of Illustration. Rackham's interpretation of "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse" was part of his contributions to a publication of Aesop's Fables. His distinctive style, characterized by intricate detail, a sense of fantasy, and often a touch of whimsy, brought a fresh visual perspective to these classic tales.

Rackham's illustrations for Aesop's Fables, including "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse," were widely acclaimed and contributed to the enduring popularity of these stories. His work is noted for its ability to capture the essence of each fable's characters and moral, often adding depth and nuance to the simple narratives. The 1912 publication featuring Rackham's illustrations became a cherished edition for both its artistic merit and its literary significance, and it remains a sought-after collector's item for enthusiasts of Rackham's art and Aesop's timeless fables.
