<i>The gods help them that help themselves </i>. . . <i>We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified </i>. . . <i>Appearances are deceptive </i>. . . These and many other familiar proverbs — in fact, many of the moral values that form the foundation of our daily lives — were expressed in tales from ancient Greece, credited to Aesop, the legendary storyteller. This volume, edited by the celebrated English folklorist Joseph Jacobs, contains a rich selection of these time-honored tales, among them "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse," "The Fox and the Crow," "The Lion and the Mouse," "The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," "The Goose with the Golden Eggs," "The Old Man and Death," "Belling the Cat," "The Hare and the Tortoise," and dozens more. Retold with wit and sparkle in simple, direct language, these short, clever stories offer young readers wonderful lessons in right and wrong, and many valuable insights into life, both its joys and perils. Over 170 classic illustrations by Richard Heighway bring the stories vividly to life for readers and listeners alike.

This collection features 203 of Aesop’s most enduring and popular fables, translated into modern English and illustrated with classic woodcuts by the renowned artist J. J. Grandville. Aesop, a Greek slave who lived over two thousand years ago, has left an indelible mark on language and moral education. Phrases like “sour grapes,” “crying ‘wolf,’” and “actions speak louder than words” are just a few examples of the metaphors and ideas that have become integral to Western culture, all originating from Aesop’s Fables. As an extraordinary storyteller, Aesop used cunning foxes, surly dogs, clever mice, fearsome lions, and foolish humans to depict the realities of a harsh world. His narratives are appealing, humorous, politically astute, and profoundly true. The morals of his stories continue to resonate, affecting us both intellectually and emotionally. This collection includes beloved fables such as “The Fox and the Grapes,” “The Ants and the Grasshopper,” and “The Country Mouse and the Town Mouse,” among many others.

A reprint of an illustrated collection of over 300 fables from Aesop, originally published in 1909.
