Review: Aesop's Fables; a new translation by Aesop - This is a complete collection of the the timeless fables of Aesop, translated into easily-readable colloquial English. The date of the original fables, which were in Ancient Greek, is uncertain. It is said that Aesop lived from 620-564 BC, that he was a slave on the Greek Island of Samos, and was born either in somewhere in Asia Minor or Thrace. He is also often characterized as having been an ugly hunchback. However, nobody really knows for sure, nor does any of that really matter. What is certain is that the fables attributed to Aesop are as entertaining, and the lessons taught by them as universally true, as they were were thousands of years ago. The charm and wonder of Aesop's fables is that they are completely and equally comprehensible by people of any culture, and from any era; either now, in the distant past, or ten thousand years from now. They have never been outdated, and undoubtedly never will be. Few works of literature, from any age or culture, are so universal as the Fables of Aesop. They should be required reading for anyone, in any country on earth, who wishes to consider themselves educated. Review: Illustrations are gorgeous! - The Fables are ancient and wonderful to read aloud to a child of at least pre-school age. A 7 year old can read it with help, and an adult is helpful to interpret the wisdom in each ‘fable.’ The illustrations are detailed and rich and appeal to adults as well as to children-rare in a book for children. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #165,853 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #77 in Children's Greek & Roman Tales & Myths #546 in Children's Classics #1,324 in Short Stories Anthologies | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 4,179 Reviews | ## Images ![The Classic Treasury of Aesop's Fables - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/9143o2bzgaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aesop's Fables; a new translation by Aesop *by R***N on August 10, 2012* This is a complete collection of the the timeless fables of Aesop, translated into easily-readable colloquial English.
