15527 7016e7a7-e74d-49f9-a70b-445ab015c8f3 Aesop's Fables (Penguin Classics) Aesop calibre (0.8.24) [http://calibre-ebook.com] 2005-01-14T10:00:00+00:00 <div><h3>Product Description</h3><p>Sardonic, wry and wise, Aesop's Fables are some of the most enduring and well-loved literary creations in history. In a series of pithy, amusing vignettes, Aesop created a vivid cast of characters to demonstrate different aspects of human nature. Here we see a wily fox outwitted by a quick-thinking cicada, a tortoise triumphing over a self-confident hare and a fable-teller named Aesop silencing those who mock him. Each jewel-like fable provides a warning about the consequences of wrong-doing, as well as offering a glimpse into the everyday lives of Ancient Greeks. </p><h3>About the Author</h3><p>AESOP probably lived in the middle part of the sixth century BC. A statement in Herodotus gives grounds for thinking that he was a slave. </p></div> ePenguin B002ZJSUO2 X2aqAhLULL4C 9781420925760 7092063 eng classics Children's Books.9-12
