Description: "You must write for children in the same way as you do for adults, only better"-Maxim Gorky. This is a brand new luxury flexibound edition of Aesop's Fables The story goes that a sow who had delivered a whole litter of piglets loudly accosted a lioness. "How many children do you breed?" asked the sow. "I breed only one," said the lioness, "but he is very well bred!"' The fables of Aesop have become one of the most enduring traditions of European culture, ever since they were first written down nearly two millennia ago. Aesop was reputedly a tongue-tied slave who miraculously received the power of speech; from his legendary storytelling came the collections of prose and verse fables scattered throughout Greek and Roman literature. First published in English by Caxton in 1484, the fables and their morals continue to charm modern readers: who does not know the stories of the tortoise and the hare, and the boy who cried wolf? This new translation is the first to represent all the main fable collections in ancient Latin and Greek, arranged according to the fables' contents and themes. It includes 284 fables, many of which come from sources never before translated into English.The cover is not a hardcover leatherbound. Its just has a feeling of soft leather ShippingI offer a free shipping within USA. Your book may be shipped with USPS/UPS/Laser Ship. If you ordered couple books they may arrive in couple shipmenst.
