Aesop's Fables

Rating:
Summary: A delight!!
Review: I loved these short fables. They are full of wit and charm. They also have some serious political overtones, warning us how to survive tyrants and the evil who are so often in power (whether in government or in the office where we work). The illustrations are just right. Kids will love this but adults will be very stimulated to find that these fables apply to their lives also. A wonderful value and the best paperback edition out there!

Review: Jack Zipes usually does excellent compliations of children's stories and folklore, and this is no exception. Most of the time-tested stories with morals that will live forever, along with a few that are not for the squeaminsh and "politically correct" characters. The illustrations (some of which are rather grotesque) are from an 1800s edition of "Fables of Fontaine" and add to the mood. However, completists will also want "Aesop-The Complete Fables" from Penguin Books as a companion piece to this in all their politically incorrect gory/glory.

Review: My father read these and also the "Just So" stories to me when I was a child and I just adored them. I still do, and when I have children, I plan to read them Aesop's Fables
