About this listen
Timeless, concise, and endlessly revealing, Aesop’s Fables remain among the most influential stories ever told.
This classic collection, presented in the widely respected translation by V. S. Vernon Jones, gathers dozens of brief moral tales drawn from ancient oral tradition. Through animals that speak and act with recognizably human motives—pride, greed, cunning, patience, and mercy—these fables explore the enduring patterns of human behavior with clarity and restraint.
Each story unfolds in just a few moments, yet leaves behind a lasting impression. The lessons are not preached but demonstrated, allowing listeners to reflect on justice, wisdom, and consequence in their own time. Whether familiar favorites such as "The Tortoise and the Hare", "The Fox and the Grapes", or lesser-known parables, the collection offers insight that remains strikingly relevant across centuries and cultures.
Narrated with warmth and precision by Myriam Berger, this audiobook honors the simplicity and rhythm of the original tales while bringing fresh life to their voices and pacing. Ideal for listeners of all ages, Aesop’s Fables is both a literary cornerstone and a quiet guide to understanding the world—and ourselves.
