Synopsis

Aesop’s Fables refers to a collection of fables credited to Aesop (620–560 BC), a slave and storyteller who lived in Ancient Greece. His fables are some of the most well known in the world and remain a popular choice for the moral education of children today. Many stories included in Aesop’s Fables, such as “The Fox and the Grapes” (from which the idiom “sour grapes” was derived), “The Tortoise and the Hare,” “The North Wind and the Sun,” and “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” are well-known throughout the world.

About Aesop

Aesop (620–560 BC) has been known in history and in legend since the sixth century BC, or earlier, as a gifted Greek storyteller and the author of the world’s best-known collection of fables. There is speculation that he was a Phrygian slave and that he was freed as a result of his wit. Though little is known about his life, his remarkable wisdom regarding human nature, conveyed through his fables, has brought him great renown.

About G. K. Chesterton

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) published numerous works which include compilations of his voluminous journalism, novels, biographies, histories, criticism, Christian apologetics, poetry, and plays. Many of his novels have the genuine marks of genius. His books on Dickens (for whom he had a considerable affinity) and Saint Thomas Aquinas are considered classics in their fields.
