Fables

Book Review by: Forte    

Original Author: Aesop
  Fables was originated in Greece. It is a reproof veiled either from fear of an excess of frankness or from love of
fun beneath the fiction of an occurrence happening among beast.It aims at one great end and purpose representation of human motive and improvement on human conduct. Aesop is considered the father of Greek fables.First,Aesop only narrated the fables and for a long time were handed down by uncertain channel of oral tradition.Unfortunately,his collections disappeared and have been forgotten. It took seven centuries before the next notice is found of Fables of Aesop. The romans re introduced it in the general literature of Christianity and revived  the interest in the fables of Aesop.
