AESOP'S FABLES by Aesop

GRADE: A-

This is the complete collection of the fables of Aesop, who was reportedly a tongue-tied slave that miraculously gained the power of speech and began telling stories to his masters. The tales were first written down almost 2,000 years ago. It's amazing how many of these very short tales have ingrained themselves so deep into our psyche as a society. While reading, you will be constantly surprised when a story pops up that you've always been familiar with, but were never really sure where it came from. For centuries, these simple stories have guided much of the way we live our lives all around the world. They are so much more than just short fables, but can be seen as a reference book of wisdom.
