Aesop is the most famous of the ancient storytellers and is considered the leader of the so-called "didactic mythology." In his fables, which were passed down orally and drew from everyday life and nature, he criticizes evil in its most representative forms: violence, deceit, betrayal, falsehood, greed, and treachery, always with some moral lesson at the end.

Aesop had humble roots and, although he lived his entire life as a slave, the Athenians erected a statue of him after his death to show that every person of worth, regardless of origin, should be honored.

The book AESOP’S – 30 FABLES includes several of his well-known fables, carefully crafted and illustrated in color.
