Aesop (620–564 BCE) was an Ancient Greek fabulist or storyteller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. Although his existence remains uncertain and (if he ever existed) no writings by him survive. Aesop's Fables is a unique collection of fables credited to Aesop. Of diverse origins all stories associated with Aesop's name have descended to modern times through a number of sources. They continue to be reinterpreted in different copies and in popular as well as artistic mediums. When and how the fables arrived in and travelled from ancient Greece remains uncertain still nowadays. Many of the tales are characterized by animals and inanimate objects that speak, solve problems, and generally have human characteristics. Fables will open the great fantasy underground for your children and make your literary collection much wealthier.
