Overview

AesopÕs fables are as wise and true today as they were more than 2,600 years ago. Now, distinguished author Doris Orgel retells these timeless stories for the next generation. A brave little mouse extracts a thorn from a lionÕs paw, steady tortoise beats cocky hare in a footrace, a boy cries wolf too many timesÉ. Elegantly and economically told against a backdrop of expressive, detailed illustrations, this gift book presents AesopÕs kindly lessons for todayÕs children in a book sure to become an essential addition to any youngsterÕs library. Each story is accompanied by an interesting fact about Aesop and his time; these build to an accessible history of the legendary figure.
