Aesop's Fables

Much wants more and loses all.

Once upon a time, long long ago

There were mischievous Dogs and crafty Cats,

Wise Mice and greedy Men,

Hungry Wolves and innocent Lambs,

Clever Frogs and cunning Foxes,

Wily Lions and overconfident Hares . . .

Each had a lesson to teach.

Each had a moral to share. Timeless and enlightening, Aesop's Fables have been enchanting children for more than centuries now. They continue to remain the best bedtime stories. This classic edition is a translation by V. S. Vernon Jones. It includes two hundred and eighty-four fables illustrated by Arthur Rackham.
