Children's stories are often described as having stood the test of time - but few are more deserving of that accolade than 'Aesop's Fables', which were first recounted by a slave in Ancient Greece in the sixth century BCE. They have since been retold countless times, as they are rediscovered and reinterpreted for each new generation of children. Over the centuries, the larger-than-life characters in these tales have become part of our common cultural heritage, as idioms and metaphors recognized by people all over the world. In this charming collection, you can discover them for yourself.
