Product Description
Product Description
This timeless collection brings together three hundred of the most enduringly popular of Aesop's fables in a collection that will delight young and old readers alike. Here are all the age-old favorites-the wily fox, the vain peacock, the predatory cat, and steady tortoise-just as endearingly vivid and relevant now as they were for their very first audience.Although the three hundred fables in this collection are attributed to Aesop, and his name is synonymous with the form, it seems unlikely he was in fact anything more than a legendary figure. While some historical accounts maintain he was a slave with a prodigious talent for storytelling who lived during the sixth century B.C., many believe it unlikely that this whole stock of fables can be attributed to one individual.

Books were good. Smaller than I had expected but I may not have noticed size information when ordering them. They arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Were for a gift and were appreciated. Could well add to the collection.

Too small

This book is very small so it doesn't have nice pictures that would appeal to kids. It also makes it more difficult to read.
