Aesop the Storyteller: A book of fables retold in verse

By Leon Conrad

Will the stag escape the hunters? Did the lion eat the mouse? And why exactly did the fox invite the stork round to share a meal?
Find your own answers to these questions as you engage with the stories retold here by Leon Conrad in the rich oral storytelling tradition. The layout of this book is specially designed to encourage reading aloud. The fables are perfectly complemented by Alessandro Scafi's charming illustrations. Leon's virtuosic readings of the poems are also available
as an audio book.
So awaken your mind and lend me an ear -
Come, free your senses. I'll take you to where
There's a magical place, filled with creatures with flair -
A country of wolf, sheep, of crow, stork and bear,
Of talking trees, rabbits, the fox in his lair ...
The power of these stories will take us right there.
