Aesop's Fables - Translated by George Fyler Townsend.

Aesop's Fables is a collection of fables credited to Aesop, a slave and story-teller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 560 BCE.

Of diverse origins, the stories associated with Aesop's name have descended to modern times through a number of sources.

They continue to be reinterpreted in different verbal registers and in popular as well as artistic mediums.
