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 BC. 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." * This beautiful book comes with luxurious
endpapers, a beautiful and stylish heat-burnished cover, and a
convenient 5 x 7 size. * The widely popular collection of stories
has sold millions of copies and has been translated into countless
languages and dialects. Aesop's Fables have been one of the world's
most charming collections of stories that have influenced thousands
of other literary works. About the Word Cloud Classics series:
