Review: Aesop's Fables; a new translation by Aesop - This is a complete collection of the the timeless fables of Aesop, translated into easily-readable colloquial English. The date of the original fables, which were in Ancient Greek, is uncertain. It is said that Aesop lived from 620-564 BC, that he was a slave on the Greek Island of Samos, and was born either in somewhere in Asia Minor or Thrace. He is also often characterized as having been an ugly hunchback. However, nobody really knows for sure, nor does any of that really matter. What is certain is that the fables attributed to Aesop are as entertaining, and the lessons taught by them as universally true, as they were were thousands of years ago. The charm and wonder of Aesop's fables is that they are completely and equally comprehensible by people of any culture, and from any era; either now, in the distant past, or ten thousand years from now. They have never been outdated, and undoubtedly never will be. Few works of literature, from any age or culture, are so universal as the Fables of Aesop. They should be required reading for anyone, in any country on earth, who wishes to consider themselves educated. Review: Illustrations are gorgeous! - The Fables are ancient and wonderful to read aloud to a child of at least pre-school age. A 7 year old can read it with help, and an adult is helpful to interpret the wisdom in each ‘fable.’ The illustrations are detailed and rich and appeal to adults as well as to children-rare in a book for children. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,772,688 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #81 in Children's Greek & Roman Tales & Myths #523 in Children's Classics | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 4,182 Reviews | ## Images ![Aesop's Fables - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612WXuVv+7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aesop's Fables; a new translation by Aesop *by R***N on August 10, 2012* This is a complete collection of the the timeless fables of Aesop, translated into easily-readable colloquial English.

A 7 year old can read it with help, and an adult is helpful to interpret the wisdom in each ‘fable.’ The illustrations are detailed and rich and appeal to adults as well as to children-rare in a book for children. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I expected *by J***S on July 15, 2013* Great write up of the fables. I read it to my 5 and 7 year old, they love the one with the bear and the travelers. Mr. Pinkney puts the "moral" at the end of the story which sums up the learning point very well. Real short and too the point. Though some of the "morals" at the end of each tale are a little difficult to describe to little ones, it takes little effort to make them work. Great read with plenty of short stories and big elaborate pictures the kids love. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is some morals are written a bit beyond the 1st or 2nd grade level, when the rest of the work in the book is all at the level. Its not an exhaustive either, there are more Aesop fables that aren't included, but it works for what I'm using it to do. Great for bedtime stories. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/6882841-aesops-fables](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/6882841-aesops-fables) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
