Description

Comprised of over 300 classic animal tales, this edition of Aesop’s Fables will capture any young reader’s imagination. Aesop’s Fables have long been remembered as farcical, but resonant tales, capturing the imaginations of adults and children alike. Aesop’s Fables have been a cornerstone in narrating to children the differences between right and wrong. Including such revered tales as the Tortoise and the Hare, to lesser known but equally as insightful stories such as the Mountain and the Mouse, Aesop’s Fables have provided timeless guidance to young children through the guise of anthropomorphized animals. Using common animals in this manner has been a treasured vehicle for young readers to better understand and relate to the world around them. Aesop’s oral stories had been passed down through generations to celebrate the morality of life before being captured on the page. Other well-known fables in this collection include; The Goose Who Laid the Golden Eggs, The City Mouse, and The Kid and the Wolf. This translation was compiled by George Fyler Townsend. With eye-catching new covers and a new note about the author, this edition of Aesop's Fables is both modern and readable.

Author Biography:

While the true lifetime of Aesop has not been confirmed, various historical and archeological artifacts point to him having lived during the periods of 620-560 BCE. Aesop was a Greek slave who was treated brutally for the dark appearance of his skin. Aesop’s stories, which have long survived his life, were not originally his. The fables came from a multitude of sources, all passed down orally and safeguarded by Aesop himself. Many of Aesop’s anthropomorphic tales have become celebrated children’s bedtime stories, rightly securing themselves in the modern storytelling canon.
