Aesop's Fables (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket)

<p>In this collection of over three hundred fables, Aesop masterfully unravels the morals behind every action in human nature. Included are the favouries "The Shepherd-Boy and the Wolf," "The Tortoise and the Hare," and "The Dog and the Shadow." These time-honoured morals teach children that persuasion is better than force, slow but steady wins the race, and to look before you leap.</p><p>A fable is often thought of as a story intended to help children learn wholesome values and how to behave within society at large. However, in ancient Greece, fables were used as a means of persuasion, as the moral of a fable can be delivered in an indirect manner. This helped philosophers such as Plato, Aristophanes, and Socrates argue controversial points without offending their audience.</p><p>This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket. </p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Aesop<br><b>Publisher:</b> Royal Classics<br><b>Published:</b> 01/19/2021<br><b>Pages:</b> 126<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.79lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.44d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781774760970<br><b>Audience:</b> Baby-Preschool<p></p>
