The Calamities of Aesop’s Creatures
The misfortunes that befall the hapless creatures of Aesop’s Fables are as entertaining as they are instructive:
- The fox can’t reach his grapes, then gets attacked by biting flies, and loses his tail in a trap.
- The hare, chased relentlessly by a hound, barely escapes with his life—only to be beaten in a race by a lowly tortoise.
- Misfortune turns to mayhem when:
- A wolf is killed by his sweetheart’s father.
- A sheepdog preys on his own flock.
- A mouse and his friend the frog are eaten by a hawk.
Stories of Triumph and Wit
Not all is doom and gloom in Aesop’s world. On the brighter side:
- A tiny ant saves her new friend the dove from a hunter’s arrow.
- A bat persuades two different weasels not to eat her.
- A kid goat uses his wits to escape from the jaws of a hungry wolf.
Timeless Lessons for All Ages
For nearly three thousand years, the fables of Aesop have amused people of all ages, providing common-sense lessons in the conduct of everyday life. These colorful characters and brief tales—by turns amusing and frightening—deliver a how-to course in applied moral philosophy.
This edition features more than forty illustrations by the celebrated artist Ernest Griset, bringing these timeless stories to life.
