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.
