| Summary |
"Æsop's Fables: A Version for Young Readers" by J. H. Stickney is a collection of timeless fables intended for children, published in the early 20th century. This adapted edition presents classic moral tales featuring anthropomorphic animals that convey valuable life lessons through engaging stories. Ideal for young readers, the book serves to instill morals and virtues in a way that is both entertaining and educational. The opening of this version introduces multiple fables, beginning with "The Wolf and the Lamb," which depicts the unjust nature of the powerful using the example of a wolf that deceitfully accuses a lamb as an excuse to eat it. Other tales like "The Fox and the Grapes" illustrate themes of rationalization and self-deception, while "The Dog and His Shadow" warns about greed. With its straightforward prose and engaging illustrations, the beginning of this collection sets the tone for the variety of stories to follow, each rich with wisdom that is accessible to children.
