Description
Originally written in ancient Greece by a humble slave, Aesop’s Fables have been a source of wisdom and entertainment for adults and children ever since. In Lion Hudson’s beautifully designed and illustrated classic edition, children’s author Margaret McAllister has selected 28 of the most popular tales from the collection, retelling them with wit and wisdom.
Each of the stories ends with its own essential moral – “Slow and steady wins the race” is the message from The Hare and the Tortoise and we learn that “Persuasion is more effective than force” in The North wind and the Sun, while The Boy who Cried Wolf, tells us, “If you tell lies, nobody will believe you when you tell the truth.”
Each of the 28 stories has been brought to life visually by Amanda Hall’s magical and luminous illustrations. This book makes a perfect gift that will be treasured for a lifetime.
