It says $0.10 to buy (on sale in deals), but when I go to buy it, Google tries to charge $1.06? $0.99 plus $0.07 tax. Fix this and 5 stars after purchase. OF COURSE: instead of fixing the problem, just take it off sale. Thanks.

Some of the fables did not make much sense, but overall it was a fun book to read.

A must have for those who take an interest in philosophy and the grain of the human psyche. Sophomoric in readability, but much more radical in content.

About the author
According to legend, Aesop (620–564 BCE) spent much of his early life as a slave before earning his freedom with cleverness. No trace of his original writings survives, but Aesop’s fables were transcribed by others and passed down through the ages. In 1484 the first printed edition spurred a wave of translations around the world. Today his tales of moral instruction are some of the most cherished stories in the world.
