Enjoy a collection of classical stories, culled from the greatest
storytellers of all time, offering up tales of animals and other
enchanted creatures to delight readers young and old. As fables, each
story demonstrates a moral lesson or a piece of advice for readers--some
of whom may be struggling with related problems, difficulties, and
stumbling blocks addressed by the lessons in each tale. Whether it's a
rousing tale of stone soup, a tortoise and eagle, country and city mice,
or foxes, hens, and farmers, readers of all ages will be entertained by
the fresh story approach of Aesop, Robert Dodsley, Phaedrus, and others,
some retold from tales of cultures as diverse as those of Native Alaska,
Africa, Arabia, the Far East, and more.
