Three hundred Aesop’s fables
621? BCE-565? BCE Aesop and George Fyler Townsend
A mouse frees a lion, a wolf lectures a lamb, and an ass asks a grasshopper the secret of its song. Three hundred of Aesop's fables sit in this collection, each a minute long and a lifetime deep, from the bat and the weasels to the father and his sons. The oldest wisdom in the nursery, still undefeated. Pick one at bedtime and argue about it at breakfast. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
