This collection brings together over three hundred fables reportedly written by Aesop over two millennia ago (although many can't believe one man capable of writing so many stories) and includes many of those children's classics which we are all so familiar with, including the Tortoise and the Hare and the Boy Who Cried Wolf. Although a majority of these stories are only a page or less they are still engrossing and magically endearing and as a reader you can't help but be charmed and inspired by each one.
