Aesop's Fables

Children's stories are often described as having stood the test of time - but none are more deserving of that accolade than Aesop's Fables, which were first recounted by a slave in Ancient Greece in the sixth century BCE. They have since been retold countless times, as they are rediscovered and reinterpreted for each new generation of children. Over the centuries, the larger-than-life characters in these tales have become part of our common cultural heritage, as idioms and metaphors recognized by people all over the world. Now, thanks to this charming collection, you can discover them for yourself. Among the 150 charming tales in this collection, you will find: • The Hare and the Tortoise • The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse • The Vain Jackdaw and His Borrowed Feathers • The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing Each story illustrates an essential moral lesson. This volume includes an introduction by G.K. Chesterton. This is a wonderful gift for children and adults alike, and a book that deserves a place in every home.
