Description
Without exaggerating it can be said that Aesop’s Fables are among the most enlightening and well-crafted collections of fun stories, allegories about life and tales that focus mainly on interactions between animals or people.The fables were, of course, a part of Ancient Greek culture well before Aesop. The famed storyteller, however, was the first to include them in a comprehensive collection that could be read with ease. Despite his original writings having been lost – and some scholars even claiming they were never written – many other authors throughout the centuries to come have gathered together the old stories and fables that were originally attributed to Aesop in collections such as this one.The 6th volume of Aesop’s Fables contain fables #126 to #150 from a total of 284 stories. They include many delightful and eye-opening stories about animals and people, most of which are extremely short.Some of the fables, such as the story entitled The Clown and the Countrymen, offer important life lessons that are just as accurate today as they were in Aesop’s time. The aforementioned fable speaks of a clown that could seemingly imitate the sound of a pig’s squeal so well that everyone thought it was the real thing. But what happened when a mere countryman sets out to debunk the myth of this famous celebrity?Other titles included in the volume are: The Old Hound, The Prophet, The Lion, the Mouse and the Fox, or The Three Tradesmen. With greater emphasis on human or human-like interaction, these stories will likely help adults to relate to Aesop’s wisdom even more, without taking away from the fun and excitement – or any of the lessons – that children will benefit from as well.
