This elegant translation of the most famous fabulist of modern times (if we may- be allowed to call tbe seventeenth century modern), is the work of an American author, who has admirably succeeded in embodying both the spirit, the grace, and the vivacity of the original in the translation. As Fables have interested and instructed mankind in every age, and as the Fables of La Fontaine may be said to be the standard collection of modern times, this translation has been considered as a most appropriate addition to the Universal Library.

Contents About This Book 1 The Stories 3 Story Title Index 205 Story Sources 212 About This Book Aesop was a legendary storyteller of ancient Greece, and the stories called “Aesop’s fables” have been going strong for three thousand years. This book contains a selection of classical, medieval, Renaissance, and modern Aesop’s fables, ranging from the ancient Roman poet Phaedrus to the 18th-century neo-Latin poet Desbillons. You will find famous fables here such as “The Lion’s Share” and “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” plus many not-so-famous fables about animals, about people, and about the gods and goddesses too. The fables included here represent only a small fraction of the Aesopic fable tradition. For more Aesop’s fables, visit: Aesop.LauraGibbs.net The paragraph you just read about this book is 100 words long, as is this paragraph, and that’s also the length of each story in the book. These stories go fast, but you can slow down when you find one you like. Read it again. Let it sink in. Maybe even write your own version of the story, using your imagination to add more details. Meanwhile, if you don’t like a story, don’t get bogged down; just move on to the next one.

Combined with this simple style of relation, the book con¬ tains over seventy colored illustrations by Joseph E. Dash, a student and lover of animals. Mr. Dash possesses a technique very original in the depiction of animal actions. He has made each picture incorporate the text of the fable very realistically. In Appreciation: This book is dedicated to Alice M. Dempsey who gave the greater thought to create this picture edition.
