Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Aesop's Fables: A New Revised Version From Original Sources" by Aesop is a collection of fables originating between 620 and 564 BCE. These timeless tales feature talking animals and plants that teach moral lessons through simple, fictional narratives. Originally part of oral tradition, the fables were collected centuries after Aesop's death and have evolved through continuous reinterpretation across cultures. Initially addressing adults on religious, social, and political themes, they later became essential tools for children's education, spreading worldwide through translations and adaptations in literature, art, and performance.
