Aesop's Fables
Translated by Rev. George
Fyler Townsend
Throughout history
fables have been a popular method of giving instruction. Fables contain a short
narrative that seeks to illustrate a hidden message. Generally, fables use
animals or objects as part of the narrative yet the message is designed to apply
to humans. By doing this, the fabulist is not perceived as the teacher and this
reduces any bias the listeners might have against the person. The most famous of
these teachers would be Aesop who most date around 620 B.C. Many fables are
attributed to Aesop, but it's unclear how many he actually wrote; indeed, his
historical existence as a person is under question. regardless of the actual
author, these fables provide a most valuable source of life lessons for all. ISBN:
