Aesop's Fables

LARGE PRINT EDITIONEvery schoolchild knows Aesop's Fables, whether or not they realize the cultural significance and can appreciate the enduring truth them. The point of each fable is to illustrate a lesson - usually about human nature or the human experience of everyday life - in a simple yet profound manner. Scholars believe that the Aesop to whom the fables are attributed may have been a slave in ancient Greece, but the iteration that we have today is more likely a collection whose content has been added to, edited and revised many times over the centuries - very like the oral folk tradition.
