Product Details
Great Illustrated Classics are adaptations of classic literature, retold for young readers. The type is large for young eyes, and there are black and white drawings to illustrate each story.
From the back cover: “Here are not only the Tortoise and the Hare, and the Grasshopper and the Ant, but dozens more of the delightful creatures that have been entertaining and instructing people for thousands of years. The storyteller Aesop lived in Ancient Greece, far away from us in time and distance. But his clever little stories have as much meaning for us today as they did when he first told them so long ago…”
Following each story, there is the moral. For example, “Slow and steady wins the race” is the moral of “The Tortoise and the Hare.”
