This is a witty, scatological illustrated version of the world's greatest collection of fables, allegedly written by a slave in the 5th century BC. Large and fierce animals kill and butcher weaker creatures; gods play games with the hopes and fears of lesser species, including men and women; and occasionally the weak turn the tables on the strong, exposing their pretensions. This is a new version of a book that was often bowdlerised and used to teach moral lessons to children.
