Summary

Not at all a children's author... We're talking ancient Aesop and his oh so famous fables. Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content!

Sources: Aesop, the Complete Fables, translated by Olivia and Robert Temple; Aesop's Fables, translated by George Fyler Townsend.
