Aesop's Fables is one of the world's most enduring books of wisdom, filled with witty stories that even the smallest child can enjoy and understand. Most involve animals who somehow manage to seem altogether human in their actions and motivations, and each is punctuated by an incisive moral at the end. From the Fox And The Grapes, To the Tortoise And The Hare And The Boy who Cried Wolf, these tales play a central part in our cultural heritage. Whether you remember these stories from childhood, are experiencing them For The first time, or are sharing them with a young reader, Aesop's Fables will always be an entertaining and worthwhile read.
