Fables (Everyman's Library Children's Classics) Book

Aesop is reputed to have been a slave on the island of Samos in the 6th century BC, and his audiences are said to have laughed at both his grotesque appearance and his stories. This translation first appeared in 1692, and the illustrations are taken from a hand-printed edition of 1936.Read More

    Aesop is believed to have lived in the sixth century B.C., a slave on the Greek island of Samos. His ability to teach lessons in morality through story has made his name synonymous with the genre of 'fable'. In the witty and entertaining tales attributed to him sly foxes, wicked wolves, industrious ants, and others, provide a commentary on human behaviour while the storyteller recommends the virtues of common sense and worldly wisdom. The Fables had already been popular for centuries before Roger L'Estrange published a new English translation in 1692, with the declared intention of making a comprehensive selection addressed to children. Everyman reprints his text, together with Stephen Gooden's superb engravings which were first published in 1936 in a limited edition.
