Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Aesop is believed to have lived in the sixth century B.C., a slave
on the Greek island of Samos. His ability to teach lessons in
morality through story has made his name synonymous with the genre
of 'fable'. In the witty and entertaining tales attributed to him
sly foxes, wicked wolves, industrious ants, and others, provide a
commentary on human behaviour while the storyteller recommends the
virtues of common sense and worldly wisdom. The Fables had already
been popular for centuries before Roger L'Estrange published a new
English translation in 1692, with the declared intention of making
a comprehensive selection addressed to children. Everyman reprints
his text, together with Stephen Gooden's superb engravings which
were first published in 1936 in a limited edition.
