Almost all the U] fables that have appeared in the Western world have been sheltered at one time or another under the shadow of that name. I could at any rate enumerate at least seven hundred which have appeared in English in various books entitled Æsop's Fables. L’Estrange’s collection alone contains over five hundred. In the struggle for existence among all these a certain number stand out as being the most effective and the most familiar. I have attempted to bring most of these into the following pages. <r~ . ~j <5)@ c----- LIST OF FABLES PAGE 1. The Cock and the Pearl . 2 2. The Wolf and the Lamb . 4 3. The Dog and the Shadow . 7 4.

Moor Court, Herefordshire, June ilth, i860. PREFACE. "^JO question is more often put to one who pro- fesses an acquaintance with the Fables of Babrius than, "Who Avas Babrius? Avhen did he hve?" and the querist is sceptical, when, in answer, he is bidden to discard, as erroneous, the notion that it is to ^sop, and not to Babrius, that he owes the collection of Fables which charmed his youth. Yet so it is, and it is hoped that the A-ersion of Babrius into English, now put forth, may, with the aid of a prefatory state- ment, based on the researches of the learned, tend to place the matter in a true light.

  • Illustrated '-Y Glen Rounds from the Translations of Thomas James and George Tyler Townsend Aesop’S Fables
    ILLUSTRATED '-Y GLEN ROUNDS FROM THE TRANSLATIONS OF THOMAS JAMES AND GEORGE TYLER TOWNSEND AESOP’S FABLES INTRODUCTION BY ANGELO PATRI ILLUSTRATED BY GLEN ROUNDS J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY, PHILADELPHIA COPYRIGHT FOR INTRODUCTION AND ILLUSTRATIONS, 1949, BY J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY. PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, BY THE POLYGRAPHIC COMPANY; BOUND BY H. WOLFF. DESIGNED BY HELEN GENTRY. INTRODUCTION O N L A one other book holds more truth, and love of people, than Aesop’s Fables and that is the Bible. Long before the Bible was printed, the Fables were being passed from neighbor to neighbor, from parents to children, an unwritten code of behavior, a storehouse of wisdom garnered by generations. A fable is a brief story—about animals or men or both —told with the purpose of pointing out a truth and that truth or moral is often stated quite frankly at the end of the story. Profound observations about human nature are thus presented in a nutshell in such fables as the story of the fox who said the grapes were sour because he could not reach them; the shepherd boy who at last cried, “ Wolf! w olf!” in vain; the dog in the manger who would not allow the ass to eat the hay that he did not want himself. These tales have become household say­ ings, frequently quoted by all of us when the behavior of our friends or enemies calls them to mind. Possibly many of the animal tales that later became fables had their origin in unwritten folklore but when they were written down in the form of fables—stories told with the purpose of pointing a moral—it was by philosophers and scholars who used them deliberately TABLE OF CONTENTS A ' B cont.

What did it turn out to be but a Pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard? ‘You may be a treasure,’ quoth Master Cock, ‘to men that prize you, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn than a peck of pearls.’ Precious things are for those that can prize them. 2 of 93 Aesop’s Fables The Wolf and the Lamb Once upon a time a Wolf was lapping at a spring on a hillside, when, looking up, what should he see but a Lamb just beginning to drink a little lower down. ‘There’s my supper,’ thought he, ‘if only I can find some excuse to seize it.’ Then he called out to the Lamb, ‘How dare you muddle the water from which I am drinking?’ ‘Nay, master, nay,’ said Lambikin; ‘if the water be muddy up there, I cannot be the cause of it, for it runs down from you to me.’ ‘Well, then,’ said the Wolf, ‘why did you call me bad names this time last year?’ ‘That cannot be,’ said the Lamb; ‘I am only six months old.’ ‘I don’t care,’ snarled the Wolf; ‘if it was not you it was your father;’ and with that he rushed upon the poor little Lamb and .WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA WARRA .ate her all up.

  • A Hundred Fables LA FONTAINE
    A Hundred Fables FROM LA FONTAINE THE ENGLISH BY PHILIP WAYNE A DOUBLEDAY ANCHOR ORIGINAL I 00/ A HUNDRED FABLES from LA FONTAINE j e a n d e l a f o n t a i n e was bom in 1621 at Chateau- Thierry in Champagne. He received part of his education at the Maison de l’Oratoire in Paris and contemplated enter­ ing the Church. Then he studied law, but showed a dis­ inclination for steady work and was content to spend ten years in idleness in his native town and most of the re­ mainder of his life as the pensioner of wealthy patrons. He married in 1647 and had a son, but later separated from his family. His most important works, the Contes and the Fables began to appear (when he was over forty) in 1664 and 1668 respectively. He continued to add to these until his death in 1695. P h i l i p w a y n e has translated Goethe’s Faust into English verse and is editor of the Everyman Wordsworth and of a critical anthology, The Heritage of Poetry. Besides ex­ perience in broadcasting, in several countries, he has acted a good deal on the stage producing Shakespeare as an amateur in European theatres. For many years Headmaster of St. Marylebone Grammar School, London, he has been active in music, as well as poetry and the theatre, all his life.
