Aesop's Fables written by Aesop performed by Anton Lesser on CD (Abridged)

How can the Tortoise run faster than the Hare? What happens when the dog growls at its image? Or when the Country Mouse goes to supper with the Town Mouse? These wonderful stories have delighted adults and children for centuries, with their witty observations on animals and humans too. In the Fox, in ...

the Crow, in the Lion, in the Ass who puts on a wolf's skin, we see human kind with all its foibles.

The stories are told with the enduring magic of a master story-teller, and set against the bright sounds of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and sound effects.
