The storyteller Aesop is believed to have lived in ancient Greece. However, no one knows if he was an actual person or whether the collection attributed to his name has a wider authorship. There are many stories about Aesop, and he is mentioned in the writings of Greek historian Herodotus, and Aristotle. However, many believe that Aesop himself never existed and that the fables attributed to him have been written by many and collected over time in that name. Whatever be the truth, today, an Aesop's story has come to mean a tale featuring animals that offers a simple moral at the end. The name Aesop itself has become legendary in carrying the storytelling tradition to newer generations and has lasted through time, much like our own Panchatantra. This collection of stories is for the young reader and features popular Aesop's tales that can be read and reread. Told in simple language with colourful illustrations to match, this volume make for a delightful reading experience.
