About this title

Synopsis:

Have you heard the story of the tortoise and the hare? Aesop's Fables is a collection of eight entertaining fables, retold with a difference. Saviour Pirotta's clever, imaginative reworkings of these classic tales bring ancient Greece and the character of Aesop, the freedslave-turned-master-storyteller, vividly to life. Aesop himself tells the reader all about his life as a slave and as a storyteller, and explains the events that inspired his best-loved tales. These fables, gloriously illustrated by Richard Johnson, remain just as relevant today as they were hundreds of years ago.

Review:

It is good to see creative new editions of Aesop's Fables like this...well told, well illustrated. -- Alida Allison, NATIONAL CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF CHILDREN'S LITERATURE, SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY, January 2006

Masterful introductions..illustrator Richard Johnson will keep the children transfixed while mom or dad eagerly read each story. -- Craig Reem in THE INLAND EMPIRE FAMILY MAGAZINE, April 2006
