Aesop's Fables (Complete 12 Volumes) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781497545793)

This is a collection of tales from the Greek story teller, Aesop. Aesop was a slave in ancient Greece. He was a keen observer of both animals and people. Most of the characters in his stories are animals, some of which take on human characteristic and are personified in ways of speech and emotions.
