Aesop is famous for his fables, each containing a nugget of insight and wisdom or moral which Aesop draws for the reader. This 1912 translation includes beautiful full color illustrations alongside ones rendered in black and white. Making this edition even more desirable is its foreword by G.K. Chesterton, the author of "The Everlasting Man."

Aesop's Fables is a collection of stories credited to Aesop, a slave and storyteller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. Of diverse origins, the stories associated with Aesop's name have descended to modern times through a number of sources and include such favorites as The Fox and the Grapes, The Tortoise and the Hare, The Farmer and the Stork, The North Wind and the Sun, The Ant and the Grasshopper and hundreds more.

The book gathers the best of a thousand years of philosophy, history and literature, in a compilation of writing spanning from 800 BC to 200 AD. With selections from the five major schools of Greek thought-the Platonists, the Aristotelians, the Stoics, the Epicureans, and the Skeptics-it offers guidance for a life well lived.

'Help! A wolf is eating my sheep!' What happens when a bored shepherd boy lies to the people in his village - or when he later tells the truth?
