 Outstanding! March 6, 2010

I've always loved Aesop's Fables and to have them all in one neat collection here on my Kindle for my PC is just great! There ARE capital letters where appropriate, so I'm not sure what the other reviewer here had going on with their version. Rest assured that the problem has now been fixed and it's easy reading. My only complaint is that the individual stories listed in the contents are not click-able and you do have to navigate page by page to get where you need to go. I still believe that this deserves a five star rating though in spite of that just because it is so nice to have all the fables in one place like this for free. You can't beat it!

This collection of Aesop's Fables is great because it is a Kindle freebie and allows me to store the fables in a convenient format (though I have several print versions of the Fables in my home library). There is a lengthy introduction by G.K. Chesterton which is insightful and informative, followed by the fables which appear to be a complete collection of Aesop's Fables. The only complaint I have is that the Table of Contents does not allow for the reader to click on a particular title to gain access to it. Instead, the reader has to manually scroll through all the titles in the order listed to get from one story to the next. Fortunately, the fables are relatively short and easy to get through. This is an excellent collection and being a freebie is definitely an added bonus!

This is a wonderful collection of the stories we grew up on. Some are very different from what I remember some I don't remember at all and those were lovely to discover. I recommend this to anyone.
"AESOP'S FABLES: A NEW TRANSLATION" July 22, 2010
Regina Clark (Grants Pass, OR)
"A NEW TRANSLATION" MAY INADVERTENTLY GIVE THE IMPRESSION OF A MODERN TRANSLATION. HOWEVER, THIS TRANSLATION IS SURPRISINGLY CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL GREEK IN STYLE, INDICATING IT MAY ACTUALLY BE ONE OF THE EARLIEST. OF COURSE, NONE OF THIS CAN BE EASILY PROVEN, BUT ONE HAS ONLY TO READ AND ENJOY THESE ENLIGHTENING TALES TO DISCERN IN THEIR FLAVOR A FAINT HINT OF ANTIQUITY, THE SCENT OF PRESSED ROSES, AND SOME NOSTALGIA.
ASIDE FROM BEING AMUSING AND DIVERTING, THE TALES ARE MOST INSTRUCTIVE OF THE BENEFITS OF COMMON SENSE, AND OF THE PERILS WHEN COMMON SENSE IS WANTING. WHATEVER THEIR PURPORT, THEY ARE ALL CHARMING. AFTER ALL, WHEN ANIMALS SPEAK, EVERYONE LISTENS. REGINA CLARK
