Aesop’s fables are among the most familiar and best-loved stories in the world. Tales like “The Tortoise and the Hare,” “The Dog in the Manger,” and “Sour Grapes” have captivated us for generations. The fables delight us and teach timeless truths. Aesop’s tales offer us a world fundamentally simpler to ours—one with clear good and plain evil—but nonetheless one that is marked by political nuance and literary complexity.
Newly translated and annotated by renowned scholar Robin Waterfield, this definitive translation shines a new light on four hundred of Aesop’s most enduring fables.

“Robin Waterfield’s faithful, clear, and endlessly readable new translation of Aesop’s Fables is a buffet of the wild, weird, hilarious, and profound. What a joy to encounter these fables as an adult, aware of their place in our ancient and collective history and in awe of their incredible resonances thousands of years later.”Maria Adelmann, author of How to Be Eaten
