The fables of Aesop have become one of the most enduring traditions of European culture, ever since they were first written down nearly two millennia ago. Aesop was reputedly a tongue-tied slave who miraculously received the power of speech; from his legendary storytelling came the collections of prose and verse fables scattered throughout Greek and Roman literature. First published in English by Caxton in 1484, the fables and their morals continue to charm modern readers: who does not know the story of the tortoise and the hare, or the boy who cried wolf? This new translation is the first to represent all the main fable collections in ancient Latin and Greek, arranged according to the fables' contents and themes. It includes 600 fables, many of which come from sources never before translated into English.

Par un jour d'été 1862, sur les berges de la Tamise, un jeune professeur d'Oxford, poète et mathématicien, improvise un conte pour distraire les trois fillettes d'un de ses amis. Charles Dodgson, alias Lewis Carroll, est en train d'improviser Alice au pays des merveilles. Assise au bord de la rivière, Alice s'ennuyait un peu quand soudain, venu de nulle part, surgit un lapin blanc pressé de regagner son terrier. N'hésitant pas à le suivre, Alice pénètre dans un monde de prodiges et de menaces qui n'est autre que le royaume de l'enfance. Et voici le chat de Cheshire à l'étrange sourire, la terrible Reine de coeur, le Chapelier fou et le Lièvre de Mars, la Fausse Tortue et le Valet-Poisson...Un siècle et demi plus tard, ce monde enfantin et absurde, surréel et symbolique, est resté le nôtre.
