Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources
This collection gathers more than two hundred of the fables attributed to Aesop, the storyteller said to have been a slave on the island of Samos in the sixth century BC. An opening Life of Aesop sets out what tradition records about him, and then come the fables themselves, from The Wolf Turned Shepherd and The Stag at the Pool to The Wolf and the Lamb and The Hares and the Frogs. Each is told briefly and plainly, and talking foxes, lions, asses and frogs act out vanity, greed, prudence and folly. The tales remain as good for reading aloud to children as for adults tracing familiar proverbs to their source. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first story is free.
