About the author

Aesop

Best known as the figure behind the timeless fables of talking animals and sharp moral lessons, this legendary storyteller has shaped the way people learn through stories for more than two thousand years. Even though historians cannot fully confirm the details of his life, the tales linked to his name remain some of the most enduring in world literature.
