Aesop, the legendary Greek storyteller, lived in the 6th century B.C., but his wise and witty tales--each with its own distinctive moral-- remain as popular in our own day as they were when first told. Here are many of Aesop's best-known fables, all of them complemented with large, full-color illustrations of unusually high quality. The tales included in this volume are categorized according to the animals playing lead roles.

Other animal themes include fables of the Fox, the Wolf, and the Eagle. Here is a wonderful introduction to Aesop's immortal fables for boys and girls, a volume that is both beautiful to look at and enjoyable to read. Adults, too, will treasure this book. Color illustrations on every page.
