Product Description
Sardonic, wry and wise, Aesop’s Fables are some of the most enduring and well-loved literary creations in history. 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.

Editorial Reviews
About the Author
AESOP probably lived in the middle part of the sixth century BC. A statement in Herodotus gives grounds for thinking that he was a slave.
Customer Reviews
Great little book
This is a great little book, for a very fair price.
I'm sure many of you know this already, great to read back over the stories from years and years ago!
Contains around 210 little stories with the moral written underneath. It has a little introduction too!
For the price, you've got nothing to lose!
