About this audiobook
"Aesop's Fables" is a collection of fables credited to Aesop, a slave and storyteller believed to have lived in ancient Greece around the fifth century BC. These fables are charming stories, each one leading towards a wise moral. They have been the inspiration for La Fontaine, one of the greatest French writers of all time, and are a perfect tool for educating young children as well as a delight for lovers of elegance and simplicity.
This selection of the most beautiful fables by Aesop includes: "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse", "The Fox and the Stork", "The Ass and the Lap-Dog", "The Lion and the Mouse", "Hercules and the Wagoner", "The Wolf and the Lamb", "The Fox and the Grapes", among other treasures of ancient literature.
Aesop
Although the three hundred fables in his famous collection are attributed to Aesop, and his name is synonymous with the form, it seems unlikely he was in fact anything more than a legendary figure. While some historical accounts maintain he was a slave with a prodigious talent for story-telling who lived during the sixth century B.C., many believe it unlikely that this whole stock of fables can be attributed to one individual. What does seem clear though is that the fables began their life being orally transmitted before being put down in writing.
