Aesop was a storyteller and slave who lived 2,500 years ago in ancient Greece. Because of his humble position in society, Aesop could not speak his thoughts openly. So he told fables, stories in which animals speak and act like people. Aesop could not speak out, but in his fables the animals could talk and comment on human society without rebuke. To this day, Aesop's fables are retold by storytellers the world over.
Collected here for the whole family are both well-known fables ("Sour Grapes"; ....
"A Father, a Son, and a Donkey") and lesser-known gems ("The Dog and the Wolf"; "The Oak and the Bramble"; "Keeping the Gold"). All are retold in Heather Forest's delicate troubadour style, a weaving of rhyming verse, catchy music, and oral storytelling that has earned the New York-based storyteller plaudits from critics in Europe and the United States.
