A collection of classic children’s stories to delight and entertain your little ones at bedtime.

A fascinating collection of some of the great - but less well known - fairy tales of all time.

Classic fairy tales and stories are an essential part of children's development. This collection brings together rare fairy tales, stories, myths and legends, to feed the intelligence and imagination of children in their years of development. Here are seven of the rarest and most delightful tales: "How to Tell a True Princess" and "The Darning Needle" by master storyteller Hans Christian Andersen; "Belling the Cat" and "The Wolf and the Fox", taken from Aesop's fables; an English fairy tale, "Master of all Masters"; "Persevere and Prosper", and "The Story of Caliph Stork", two old Arabian tales.

"Aesop's Fables" is a collection of fables credited to Aesop, a slave and storyteller believed to have lived in ancient Greece around the fifth century BC. These fables are charming stories, each one leading towards a wise moral. They have been the inspiration for La Fontaine, one of the greatest French writers of all time, and are a perfect tool for educating young children as well as a delight for lovers of elegance and simplicity.

Four stories and fairytales which have remained popular for centuries come together in The Ugly Duckling and Other Stories. This collection is a must for anyone who loves animals - there's a whole menagerie here from ducklings to geese to sheep to a very slow but determined tortoise!

How can the Tortoise run faster than the Hare? What happens when the dog growls at its image? Or when the Country Mouse goes to supper with the Town Mouse? These wonderful stories have delighted adults and children for centuries, with their witty observations on animals and humans too. The stories are told with the enduring magic of a master story-teller, and set against the bright sounds of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and sound effects.

Heather Forest, a 20-year veteran professional storyteller, says,"I became a storyteller as a direct extension of singing old folk ballads which contained tales." Early in her career, she began to create contemporary versions of traditional folktales from around the world. Forest created The Animals Could Talk for family audiences.

Beloved by generations of children and adults, Aesop's Fables continue to be a source of pleasure and learning for millions around the world. Animalistic morality tales, short in nature, help young minds to learn many of the rules and manners of our society. The tales have been translated, interpreted and presented in myriad ways over the years. Over the past few years, Anthony Richardson has been putting his own spin on the tales in the Ginx TV show The First Hour.

A collection of 100 fables from Aesop, including such familiar ones as "The Grasshopper and the Ants," "The North Wind and the Sun," "Androcles and the Lion," "The Troublesome Dog," and "The Fox and the Stork".

Included in this varied collection are: Charles Dickens' "The Magic Fishbone", Aesop's "The Country and the Town Mouse"' and "The Lion and his Counsel", Rudyard Kipling's "The Elephant's Child" and "Rikki-tikki-tavi", Hans Christian Andersen's "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "The Ugly Duckling", Juliana Ewing's "Our Field", and Flo Gibson's "Clementina Quite Contrary".

By their nature fables are "fabulous," larger than life, the characters often using wit and guile to save themselves from circumstances. In away, Aesop's Fables are morality plays. They illustrate what was fundamental to Greek culture. Their appeal to us lies in a logic we can still understand. This in turn awakens an appreciation of how far ahead of their time the Greeks were, how enduring their thought was, and how much we have to be grateful to them. This collection features 185 of these famous fables.

It is both amazing and wonderful that so much of the richness of our language and our moral education still owes a huge debt to a Greek slave who was executed over 2,000 years ago. Yet "sour grapes", "crying wolf", "a dog in a manger", "actions speak louder than words", "honesty is the best policy", and literally hundreds of other metaphors, axioms, and ideas that are now woven into the very fabric of Western culture all came from Aesop's Fables.

Remember the story of the Ant and the Grasshopper? The Fox and the Sour Grapes? The Boy Who Cried Wolf? These wonderful tales and hundreds more have been passed down to us over the centuries. The man credited with writing them, Aesop, was an Ancient Greek slave born about 620 BC. Aesop is known as a fabulist or story teller credited with a number of fables shining glaringly true light on our human foibles now collectively known as Aesop's Fables.

Two hundred of Aesop's fables from 600 BC in Greece which have engaged and taught people ever since that time.

Aesop’s Fables refers to a collection of fables credited to Aesop (620 - 560 BC), a slave and storyteller who lived in Ancient Greece. His fables are some of the most well known in the world and remain a popular choice for the moral education of children today. Many stories included in Aesop’s Fables, such as “The Fox and the Grapes” (from which the idiom “sour grapes” was derived), “The Tortoise and the Hare”, “The North Wind and the Sun”, and “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”, are well-known throughout the world.

Dive into the timeless wisdom of Aesop, where animals speak, and humans listen. This collection of fables—packed with clever plots and memorable characters—offers sharp life lessons wrapped in simple, unforgettable stories. From the tortoise and the hare's race to the self-serving fox and the grapes, Aesop's fables touch on themes of greed, kindness, wisdom, and the consequences of our actions. With enduring relevance and lessons that still ring true today, these stories are a powerful reminder of the virtues that shape a meaningful life.
