137 short stories
The most popular version of Aesops Fables was published in 1919 and is housed in the Library of Congress. Most English-speaking readers know this variation of the fables. In this book, the fables have been updated with modern language, making them shorter and easier to understand for today’s readers. Likewise, the Spanish versions have been modernized. In addition to modernizing the language, some stories have been eliminated or updated to reflect our modern world.
The stories in this collection are brief and can be read quickly – each fable only spans one or two pages that can be completed in a single sitting. While we believe that anyone can benefit from reading these stories, having a basic understanding of Spanish is recommended in order to fully appreciate the value of the message in both languages.
