Such a wonderful use of animals to illustrate great lessons in life. The Tortoise and the Hare is still my favorite. And funny but just today I was driving home and heard the UFO balloon incident in Colorado was faked and I said to myself "the boy who cried wolf". OK, I also said something worse before that, but you get my idea.
Loved the stories as a kid, especially the tortise and the hare. Nice job. And Boxer, it wasn't the boy who cried wolf, it was the media whore father who cried "I want more then my fifteen minutes at the expense of my sons". I hope he does time.
Boxer, Love, love, love the use of animals to TEACH humans. Yep, mylar UFO inventor Dad is a wolf.
Buzz, I think Aesop may be my favorite philosopher. History is sketchy but it is believed Aesop was a dwarf who earned his way in this world by delivering wisdom via his charming analogies.
Troll, Yes THAT 1400's Guttenburg! First thing he printed was a bible. Some historians say the next thing he printed was the first collection of Aesop's Fables. So wonderful!
What a pleasant surprise! If I ever happen to get around to children, and maybe even if I don't, the collection is something I will eventually buy and read again, and again, ad nauseam. The pictures are as I remember them too, if they are from different books, I guess I read enough of them through time.
Minority, You nailed it. The fact children "love them" means the lessons therein stay with us.
Doom, I so enjoy the range of illustrations of Aesop's writings. A beautiful and engaging illustration does a great deal toward anchoring the message in our brains!
K9, Historians argue but it is generally believed Aesop was born in 620BC, earned his way out of slave status by his leaning and wisdom. Became an ambassador for Delphi because he could relate matters in a clear and memorable manner. What is most interesting to me is the wisdom of Aesop's age is still relevant today.
If ever I am a mutli-gillionaire eccentric, I will definitely endeavor to collect illustrations of Aesop's Fables from all decades. Then I would erect an incredible pavillion for children around the world to come and learn philosophy, literature and art as a never ending gift from Aesop.
Love these! Now these I did read! Did you see recently where the story of the crow putting pebbles in the vase of water happened in real life? The crow worked out how to get the drink by putting pebbles in. TIMELESS.
Mermaid, Happy Monday. Didn't we just have ourselves a grand time together reading these lessons and studying the art? Time does martch on but those memories we made together.... those are forever!
Moi, Love the fables, adore the illustrations, tried to learn the lessons .... learned a few for sure! Bravo! again to you and SB finishing the half-thon.
Pam, I haven't heard the recent crow story but find I am not surprised. I am one of those folks who believed Aesops wisdom came from his observations of animals . I reckon that means if Aesop says a crow can count pebbles, I believe!!!!!
Kym, I predict one day you will be reading these with your babes ! Like Pam mentioned, these are truly timeless as families have been learning from and sharing these fables since 650bc. I love them and am excited by all this wonderful response to today's meme. Happy Monday!
did ya see my comment about how Blogger is givin' me a tough time on some blogger sites--well, MERMAID is one whar' it won't let me post--doan know why, but mebbe she will read this an' know AuntyBelle tried to come by her blugegrasswaters.
good afternoon bros. I'm really into shoes and I was looking as far as something that exact model. The prices seeking the velcros were about 350 pounds on every site. But completely I found this area selling them for the benefit of half price. I absolutely like those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will probably buy these. what is your opinion?
good evening friends. I'm actually into shoes and I was looking for the sake of that exact make. The prices seeking the sneakers are all over 190 pounds everwhere. But finally I bring about this area selling them as a remedy for half price. I absolutely want those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]gucci sneakers[/url]. I will definetly order those. what can you say about it?

Good morning Fishy,
Nicely done!
So many good stories, so many lessons to be learned. These were some of my favorites as a kid.
Karl,
I think it is a sweep!
All of us, in all age groups, have strong positive associations with the fables of Aesop. May it always be so :-)
