5By Fr1endlyFr3akAsoep's fables is a must read. When I first got it I was hesitant to read it because I thought it would be written in Old English but it had a charm to it that made me relax. I absolutely recommend it.!!
5By Ig @lo_okn4bandzI wish I could find more on Aesop!!Worth the time
5By jclack2I turned two finger swipe on and had Siri read it to me. Going to do this one again and often! It leaves you feeling practical, or a sense of resolution. I came away with a sense, "oh, yeah - that's how life really works," and "boy I had a few things wrong." Emphasizes the need to factor the self interest of others.Timeless

5By AsteriskjunkieInteresting stories. I liked the morals to the stories.Aesop's Fables
4By Sam FlossThis must be the most complete version of Aesop's fables available in the English language. It is not the prettiest version, not the most modern version, but is full of ideas and stories that people have shared for thousands of years. These stories are meant to be spoken aloud and discussed, as they were before the invention of writing. They are more interesting when you share them -- act them out, tell them around a campfire A good read and full of sayings which you still might hear, or are still referenced in literature today, although the language is a little outdated.Aesop's fables
