Aesop's clever fables. Intelligent, clever, good advices! Although written in ' old-english style' I couldn't stop laughing on the smartness of some fables.

TurtlesandGuineapigs

Well..... The stories do not have very great advice. Very confusing.

Jongbee Park

Well written and easily readable. Good book for those who are learning English as a second language. I chose this book because it was free, but the book was worth much more. Short but interesting stories are very entertaining.

Worth the time. I turned two finger swipe on and had Siri read it to me. Going to do this one again and often! It leaves you feeling practical, or a sense of resolution. I came away with a sense, "oh, yeah - that's how life really works," and "boy I had a few things wrong." Emphasizes the need to factor the self interest of others.

!!. I wish I could find more on Aesop!!

Asteriskjunkie

Interesting stories.. Interesting stories. I liked the morals to the stories.

Sam Floss

Aesop's Fables. This must be the most complete version of Aesop's fables available in the English language. It is not the prettiest version, not the most modern version, but is full of ideas and stories that people have shared for thousands of years. These stories are meant to be spoken aloud and discussed, as they were before the invention of writing. They are more interesting when you share them -- act them out, tell them around a campfire A good read and full of sayings which you still might hear, or are still referenced in literature today, although the language is a little outdated.

Fr1endlyFr3ak

A MUST READ. Asoep's fables is a must read. When I first got it I was hesitant to read it because I thought it would be written in Old English but it had a charm to it that made me relax. I absolutely recommend it.

Mr Piggy 2U

Interesting. It was nice to be able to finally read these. Although they are interesting, they are not as profound as I was expecting.

Horsemanno23

Great. For all you haters and stupid people out there,I understand that you can't read words from the story.However,you can guess your way through,but I would like if the author modernize the text

So good. ALways good for some perspective on kife

Joy!. Unchanging challenges to the selfish humanity lead us to be found always in need of an overflowing well of wisdom this book compiled. When can we become a true human kind outside Animal Kingdom.

Def123abc456

Heracles or Hercules?. Great book! In the short story "The Lion and the Statue", is the statue not to be referred to as one of "Heracles" instead of "Hercules"? I may be wrong on this, but Aesop was an Ancient Greek, so wouldn't he be familiar with the hero to the name of "Heracles"? I believe the Roman's changed the name to "Hercules" afterwards. Anyway, that's my logic. Excellent compilation of Aesop's fables!

Excellent!. Both my children and I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Its thought provoking stories helped produce interesting discussion amongst us as to what the moral of each tale meant both back when the fables were written and for us now in today's modern era. Highly recommended.

Student of famous sayings

Wisdom that has weathered the course of time. Aesop preserved the history of time by imbeding it in the literature of wisdom that has not eroded through the passages of evolution, revolution, famine, pestulances, wars, universal catastrophes fires, drought, floods and has forever served historically our intelligence through his educational enlightenments and life analogies. To think his gems were written over 1,500 years ago and yet are so relevant today speaks heaps for his insightful ness. An all time great in the world of successful academics.

Good. Good bunch of stories, fasinating :)

Timeless. Read in one sitting and loved the simplicity with which the stories are unfolded involving deep philosophical concepts using the most innocent of characters.

Aesop’s fables. Amazing book…. I highly recommend. This is a lovely book full to the brim with wise and witty tales by Aesop. If he was alive today, I would give him a pat on the back for all of his amazing pieces of literature. If you are suggesting/thinking about getting this book then it is the exact opposite of tedious and mundane… My rating: 😄👍😄👍😄👍😄

About Author "Aesop"

Aesop ( EE-sop or AY-sop; Greek: Αἴσωπος, Aísōpos; c. 620–564 BCE; formerly rendered as Æsop) was a Greek fabulist and storyteller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. Although his existence remains unclear and no writings by him survive, numerous tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day. Many of the tales associated with him are characterized by anthropomorphic animal characters. Scattered details of Aesop's life can be found in ancient sources, including Aristotle, Herodotus, and Plutarch. An ancient literary work called The Aesop Romance tells an episodic, probably highly fictional version of his life, including the traditional description of him as a strikingly ugly slave (δοῦλος) who by his cleverness acquires freedom and becomes an adviser to kings and city-states. Older spellings of his name have included Esop(e) and Isope. Depictions of Aesop in ....
