Perfect for gift-giving. Makes a great coffee table … more Aesops Fables Hardcover Vtg Jan. 1, 1981 Moral Lesson Stories by Aesop.
Perfect for gift-giving. Makes a great coffee table book, conversation starter. A collection of stories attributed to Aesop (c. 620-560 BCE), thought to have been a slave in ancient Greece. Aesop’s fables are generally short, feature animals talking and acting like humans, and are instructive, typically ending with a moral lesson. The fables and morals of Aesop have been passed down through generations and were first published in English in 1484. These clever fables center around charming animal characters and through fantasy storytelling both entertain and impart important life lessons. The most popular fables, like “The Tortoise and the Hare,” “The Fox and the Grapes,” and “The Lion and the Mouse,” have become part of our cultural vocabulary yet still entertain children and adults alike. Like new, never read. May show slight shelf wear. Stored in a cool dry place. Comes from a smoke-free/pet-free home.

About Aesop:
Aesop was an Ancient Greek fabulist or story teller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. Although his existence remains uncertain and no writings by him survive, numerous tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day. Many of the tales are characterized by animals and inanimate objects that speak, solve problems, and generally have human characteristics. less
