Aesopic fables today are often considered as stories for children.



However, the fable is a technique of criticism and persuasion, which by its indirectness may avoid giving offense, while at the same time making a powerful impression by its artistry - as rightly pointed out by West, M.L., 1984. "The Ascription of Fables to Aesop in Archaic and Classical Greece", La Fable (Vandœuvres–Genève: Fondation Hardt, Entretiens XXX), pp. 105–36.



That makes Aesop's Fables and in particular this unique collectible illustrated edition a valuable gift and an educational tool that introduces the readers to the wisdom of Life.
