As an Editor by profession, I have attempted to restyle the Fables of Aesop so that those included here display sharpened insights to today's world. This site focuses on "the Nature of the beasts..."
Thus the material contained here represents my personal editing, rewrite, and slant. (As each and every translation of Aesop reflects the philosophy of the translator.)
Unlike most collections of the Fables in print, these are written not as much for children as for the older reader.
Each Fable link also includes brief soapbox comments by your editor.
What is noticeable is that since Aesop's lifetime, nearly 3000 years ago, Man's nature has not changed in the least! Read, and please enjoy!
Your editor, Kate Shannon |
