Honouring the path of a slave, this dramatic picture-book biography and concise anthology of Aesop’s most child-friendly fables tells how a child born into slavery in ancient Greece found a way to speak out against injustice by using the skill and wit of his storytelling, storytelling that has survived for 2,500 years.
Stunningly illustrated by one of Paper Parrot’s most popular artists – Pamela Zagarenski. (the artist behind the Sacredbee card range)
For over 2,500 years, Aesop’s fables have inspired generations of storytellers. Each of his stories has a lesson to tell, but Aesop’s true-life story is perhaps the most inspiring tale of them all. Gracefully revealing the genesis of his tales, brought to life with stunning illustrations by Pamela Zagarenski, this true story of Aesop, a child born into slavery in ancient Greece, shows how fables liberated him from captivity and spread wisdom over a millennium. This is the only children’s book biography about him.
