Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of 42 fables, or short fictional stories, originally written in Latin by the author. The stories often feature animals as characters and are designed to teach a moral lesson or provide insight into human nature. The themes in this book range from the importance of friendship (The Lion and the Mouse) to the dangers of greed (The Fox and the Grapes) and the folly of pride (The Peacock and the Magpie).

Aesop's fables have been translated into over 100 languages and have been used to teach children and adults alike for centuries. The lessons in this book are timeless and relevant to people of all ages and backgrounds. They teach us about the importance of being humble, hardworking, and kind.
