Description

Aesop, an ancient Greek poet who was sold into slavery in the early sixth century BC, relied on animal stories to convey his key points to his masters in court. Aesop's Fables are classic, memorable morality plays in which amusing animal characters drive home thought-provoking morals to generations of listeners and modern-day audiences. They illustrate what was fundamental to Greek culture, yet their appeal lies in logic we still understand. Translated into countless languages and familiar to people around the world, Aesop's fables never tarnish despite being told again and again.

I first read this when i was 6.it was my first book that wasn't exactly a childreans book.having read it numerous amount of times since then. i have found that each time i read the stories, i have interpreted the stories differently each time.Take the tortise and the hare for example (the most famous of aesops fables).age 6 - Poor fluffy rabbit lost :o( i'm glad the tortise won.age 12 - why does everyone pick on the poor tortise? big bully for the hare.age 20 - ah Slow and steady wins the race... lol good one aesop. age 30- slow and staeady wins the race.... i may be slow but at least i'm doing the job right. nothing like rushing ahead and not doing the job properlyyou know i think the stories true meaning may have finally sunk in. i'm not sure if that is jus me being slow. or how i have perceived the stories as i've grown older.
