Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of eight fables brings Ancient Greece to life. The stories are retold with introductions that tell the reader all about Aesop's life as a slave and a storyteller, and explain the inspiration that lies behind his best-loved tales. Glorious illustrations by Richard Johnson complement Saviour Pirotta's warm and lively style, making this a collection to treasure. It includes stories such as: The Cat's Bell; The Dog and the Wolf; The Lion and the Mouse; The Goose who Laid the Golden Egg; The Fox and the Crane; The Tortoise and the Hare; The Frogs who Asked for a King; and The Jay and the Peacocks.
