A little about the book
This translation brings together compact stories in which a fox, a bird or an unlucky traveller discovers the limits of a clever plan. The quick action leaves plenty of room for readers to disagree about what the encounter teaches.
It is a separate edition from Townsend’s Three Hundred Aesop’s Fables. Comparing the treatment of a familiar story can show how much a translator changes with a few choices of phrasing.
