Translated from the "World Classic Series" "Aesop's Fables" that has been circulated for hundreds of years by Oxford University Press in the UK, it is the only English version that comprehensively collects and restores the Latin and Greek collections of "Aesop's Fables" throughout the ages, with 322 stories in precise translation.
Large-scale hand-drawn neoclassical illustrations vividly restore classic stories.
The earliest collection of human fables has left a deep imprint on Western culture and narrative tradition with a series of animal images implanted in human memory.
"Aesop's Fables" is the world's first collection of fables. Behind the joking and funny animal world is the author's accurate and sharp insight into human society. It can be said to be a microcosm of real society. From it, we can not only see the despicable and shallow side of human nature, but also feel the importance of virtue. It also teaches us how to treat each other gently with this complex world in a "mellow" but "intelligent" way. Therefore, it is not only suitable for children to read, but also for adults to constantly alert themselves to their relationship and understanding of the world around them.
Reader comments
The author allows us to see the weakness and beauty of human nature through the images of various animals. Just like what the book says, "Foolish people always ignore truly important matters, but are keen on those easy and boring pastimes." This sentence is really inspiring. The illustrations in the book are also very beautiful and worth reading!

A good book worthy of praise
