A review by cilie
Aesop's Illustrated Fables by Aesop
lighthearted
fast-paced
3.0
This is a really cozy book to read in small bits, like a story a day.
It is quite repetitive and there is a clear moral to every story, a moral which hasn't always aged with grace, but the writing is nice and clear, the illustrations wonderful, and some stories have lived on in western culture.
I do which that there was a for- or after-word explaining where these stories come from as they are clearly not all from Aesops time around 700 BC - this i especially clear in the one taking place in America.
