Aesop's Fables
Aesop's Fables

Timeless morals narrated through enchanting animal tales.

Aesop's Fables is like a treasure trove of wisdom packed into bite-sized stories. Each fable couples simple storytelling with profound truths, making it a delightful read for children and a reflective one for adults. It's a book you might pick for its nostalgic value or to share those universal lessons with someone young at heart. And with its modern aesthetic, this edition is as pleasing to the eye as its content is to the mind.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A collection of charming and enduring stories that convey morals to young and old alike. Aesop was a slave and storyteller who lived in ancient Greece around 620–564 BCE. No writings by him exist (if they ever existed at all), yet numerous stories and tales have been credited to him and have been shared through oral tradition throughout the world. Many of these use animals as the main characters to convey deeper meanings and morals that have become ingrained in our cultural—and personal—belief systems. For example, in “The Goatherd and the Goat” we learn that there is no use trying to hide what can’t be hidden. In “The Ass and the Purchaser” we find that people are known by the company they keep. In “The Boys and the Frogs,” one person’s pleasure may be another person’s pain. “The Dogs and the Fox” show how easy it is to kick a man when he’s down. And misery loves company, as we see in “The Fox Without a Tail.” Aesop’s Fables has been one of the world’s most charming collections of stories that have influenced thousands of other literary works.
