| | |  | These tales feature talking animals, exhibiting various qualities illustrative of human habits. Such examples as the fox and the ('sour') grapes have remained proverbial in modern times; in the meantime, the collection attributed to 'Aesop,' most likely a Phrygian slave who distinguished himself in Athens after winning his freedom, has accumulated stories from many different traditions. Sample Pages We recommend to print out sample pages to evaluate the quality of a reprint. |
