"Aesop's Fables; a new translation" by Aesop is a collection of fables credited to a storyteller who lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. These short tales feature talking animals and plants that teach moral lessons through simple scenarios. Originally part of oral tradition, the fables were collected centuries after Aesop's death and have continuously expanded to include stories from diverse sources across time and cultures, becoming timeless tools for ethical instruction.
