MEDIA REVIEWS

There’s a great balance between the morals of these traditional tales and a sense of fun and humour, bound up in a beautiful edition to treasure for years to come. - Emma Dunn and Sandra Mallon, The Scotsman

Who doesn't love an Aesop's fable? Clever animals and silly humans; animals behaving like humans portraying a code which enables the weak and powerless t o speak out against the strong and powerful without fear of punishment. Ancient tales that teach a moral and have stood the test of time. Couple a special selection of these celebrated fables with the brilliant rhyming talent of the author as she retells the stories in a lively, contemporary way, then add the stunningly beautiful illustrations by an award-winning artist and the result is a book t o treasure by young and old alike - Sue Breslin, The School Librarian
