A review by sqeeker
Aesop's Fables by D.L. Ashliman, Arthur Rackham, Aesop

4.0

- I'm sure everyone has heard an Aesop tale or two. They are so common, yet not a lot of people know it is an Aesop fable.

- Some of my favorites are: The Peacock and the Crane, Mercury and the Woodman, The Ass The Fox and The Lion, The Crow and The Pitcher, The North Wind and The Sun, The Bear and the Travelers, The Bee and Jupiter, Father and Sons, The Two Bags, The Blacksmith and His Dog, The Farmer and The Fox, The Farmer and The Viper, The Lion and The Hare, The Crow and The Raven, and The Miser.

- Some of the fables were a little hard to understand because I don't have a vast knowledge of Roman mythology or places.

- These are the classic comedy or tragedy type tales.

- There is a lot of wisdom and great advice in these little fables. I loved pondering the message of a lot of them.

- I really enjoyed reading these.

- I liked how Aesop used animals to explain people and their demeanors. He was a clever guy.

- I would have loved to me Aesop. He would have been a fun person to hang out with.

- I love how these Barnes and Noble Classics have added information on the authors and time period. I also liked the little glossary at the end. It helped me.
