This book contains a delightful collection of stories and morals
illustrated by Maud U. Clarke's lovely black and white ink drawings.
About the author: Aesop (c. 620-560BC) is famous for his Fables which
are still used as the basis of many children's plays and cartoons and to
teach moral lessons today. He was born in Greece and little is known
about his life except that he was a slave of Ladmon of Samos who
received his freedom. Aesop probably did not personally commit his
fables to the page but rather later eminent Greeks such as Socrates
recorded them. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works
in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using the original text
and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.
