With over 140 of Aesop's fables in this book, readers can dip in and enjoy stories that have been passed down through the ages by listeners, and writers well into Christian times. According to Herodotus, Aesop lived in the region of Amasis, Egypt in the mid-sixth century BC. Aesop was born a slave, but through his gift as a storyteller he found favour at the court of King Croesus. He earned his freedom, granted as a reward for the entertainment he gave with his stories. He travelled after that, and went to Lydia and Greece. The stories contained in this book include the famous 'Hare and the Tortoise' and 'The Crow and the Pitcher'.

Aesop was an Ancient Greek story-teller and slave, famed and cherished for his short fables that often involve personified animals. In the renowned collection of works that is Aesop's Fables, he weaves moral education and entertainment together into tales that have been enjoyed by many, many generations. A lot of the stories in Aesop's Fables, such as The Fox and the Grapes (giving us the term "sour grapes"), The Tortoise and the Hare, The North Wind and the Sun and The Boy Who Cried Wolf, are well-known across the world.

These fables are credited to a storyteller named Aesop who lived in Ancient Greece. Fables have been used from the earliest times as a way to teach values and wisdom and are still used today. This book is a way to share these treasured fables with the next generation. The book is designed as a coloring book, the activity giving extra time to reflect on and reinforce the lesson of the story. The coloring pages can be photocopied for multiple use and some might enjoy drawing in extra features to personalize pages. The reader is even offered a chance to develop their own fable and share it with others.
