Aesop's Fables (Word Cloud Classics)

Aesop's Fables (Word Cloud Classics)
- Used Book in Good Condition
A collection of charming and enduring stories that convey morals to young and old alike.

Aesop was a slave and storyteller who lived in ancient Greece around 620â€“564 BC. No writings by him exist (if they ever existed at all), yet numerous stories and tales have been credited to him and have been shared through oral tradition throughout the world.Â Many of these use animals as the main characters to convey deeper meanings and morals that have become ingrained in our cultural--and personal--belief systems. For example, in â€œThe Goatherd and the Goatâ€ we learn that there is no use trying to hide what canâ€™t be hidden. In â€œThe Ass and the Purchaserâ€ we find that people are known by the company they keep. In â€œThe Boys and the Frogs,â€ one personâ€™s pleasure may be another personâ€™s pain. â€œThe Dogs and the Foxâ€ show how easy it is to kick a man when heâ€™s down. And misery loves company, as we see in â€œThe Fox Without a Tail.â€Â

* This beautiful book comes with luxurious endpapers, a beautiful and stylish heat-burnished cover, and a convenient 5 x 7 size.
* The widely popular collection of stories has sold millions of copies and has been translated into countless languages and dialects.

Aesopâ€™s Fables have been one of the worldâ€™s most charming collections of stories that have influenced thousands of other literary works.
