| Plot Summary of Aesop's Fables |
|---|
"This is a collection of well-known fables written by Aesop. All of these stories have a moral related to society."
Laura J. Miller, Resident Scholar
|
"Still a good read 2,600 years on, this famous collection of Greek fables dates from about 600BC onwards, all attributed to the wise old Aesop. Like 'Animal Farm', the animals generally take on the human roles and keep the whole thing humourous while delivering a good point at the end. In general it is aimed at adults, not children. "
Michael JR Jose, Resident Scholar
