Description

This is a collection of tales from the Greek story teller, Aesop.

Aesop was a slave in ancient Greece. He was a keen observer of both animals and people. Most of the characters in his stories are animals, some of which take on human characteristic and are personified in ways of speech and emotions.

However, the majority of his character retain their animalistic qualities; tortoise are slow, hares are quick, tigers eat bird, etc.

Aesop uses these qualities and natural tendencies of animals to focus on human traits and wisdom.

Each fable has an accompanying moral to be learned from the tale.
