Description
Aesop's Fables is a collection of prose and verse fables that have become an enduring tradition of European culture. Written nearly two millennia ago, these fables were first published in English by Caxton in 1484. The book includes 600 fables, many of which come from sources never before translated into English. This new translation represents all the main fable collections in ancient Latin and Greek, arranged according to the fables' contents and themes. The fables and their morals continue to charm modern readers, with stories such as the tortoise and the hare and the boy who cried wolf remaining well-known. This edition provides an accurate text, along with expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies for further study. Oxford World's Classics has made this collection available, reflecting a commitment to scholarship and providing a wealth of valuable features for readers.
