Paperback. Condition: Fair. Illus. By David Levine (illustrator). This book contains 111 of Aesop's famous Fables, specially retold for children of today.Aesop's fables are over two thousand years old. According to tradition they were first told by a Greek slave called Aesop some time around 600 BC. He did not write them down and no one knows if he really invented all of them, but we do know that they have been popular ever since. In Aesop's world there are people of all kinds but there are also animals, birds and trees that think, speak and feel like human beings. Their adventures, fights and arguments make fascinating stories, as real today as they were 2000 years ago. The book is illustrated with 21 large colour paintings and with 33 line drawings.
