The most popular fables, like The Tortoise and the Hare, The Fox and the Grapes, and The Lion and the Mouse, have become part of our cultural vocabulary yet still entertain children and adults alike.

About the Author

Not much is known about the life of Aesop. He was a slave who lived in Greece around 620-563 BCE, and hundreds of fables are attributed to him. He was believed to be tongue-tied, but miraculously received the power of speech and became a legendary storyteller.
