Why read it?

1 author picked Aesop’s Fables as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

There is no better teller of parables than Aesop. Each of his stories carries the weight of its moral in an easily understood and digestible manner. Just because they were written millennia ago doesn’t mean they aren’t relatable and relevant today. I also love Aesop’s Fables because they inspire and activate my imagination. Being a full-time artist, looking for inspiration around every corner, that’s important!
