Western morality is bound up with the deceptively profound lessons of Aesop’s Fables. Men of old took them seriously. Ancient students memorized them. Socrates recounted them on his death bed. Aristotle said they were necessary for maturity. Jesus spoke at least one of the fables to his disciples. Renaissance men translated them along with Homer. Great Christian leaders used them in sermons. Our language and moral assumptions today are infused with Aesop’s Fables. We had a great time recording this one. Listen and follow along!

We have the Calla Edition Aesop’s Fables.
