A quick read. Something every child should have in their library.

Very cute. Felt like I already knew the vast majority of the fables just because they’re common sayings or found in children’s books that somehow I still remember deep down in my chicken brain. But it was still fun. Would be more entertaining if you were reading them to a child or you were said child, probably.

It was really great reading about where the sayings come from! Very fun.

I loved Aesop’s fables growing up so nice to read the entire collection and remember the stories I grew up with. Amazing use of animals and short tales to teach little life lessons. No matter if you know many or few already, there’ll be at least a few you love. A great example of how language, stories and lessons have passed through generations, as far back as a slave from 620BC. Better then the bible at least

Ha sido mi libro de cabecera unos cuantos meses, con hermosas ilustraciones en distintos estilos, buen gramaje de papel y decorados que explican su precio; boca, cabezada, tapa dura y detalles dorados. Una fantasía de edición. Una traducción que a veces me la ha jugado a nivel de léxico inglés, pero muy amena. Para leer unas páginas cada mañana al despertar o antes de ir a dormir. Alguna moralina más cruel que otra. Sin duda son fábulas que muchos padres dudarían contar a sus pequeños, que evocan el carácter de los cuentos viejos que son, de otra sociedad. Y sin duda sorprende observar cómo algunos refranes castellanos sin duda parten de algunas de estas historias. Es un must para un bibliófilo, y para un filólogo.
