Author: Aesop / Year: 620 BCE-564 BCE / Genre: 12-Over As children, our first experience of the magic of talking animals, the conflict between good and evil, the battle of wits between the
cunning and the innocent most probably came from Aesop's Fables. These delightful, pithy and brief narratives are simple, easy
to understand and convey their message in a memorable and charming fashion. Aesop's Fables by Aesop consists of about 600
tales, some well-loved and familiar, others less known but just as entertaining and educative and help us map the perimeters of
our moral universe.Fables have existed almost since the dawn of time. They hark back to a time when humans and animals lived
in harmony and mutual respect. We humans could learn a great deal from the uncomplicated justice and the commonsense values
of the animal kingdom. Animals are endowed with immutable personal traits like foxes being cunning, donkeys being patient, lions
being proud and wolves being cruel.
