Olivia Temple Book order (chronological)

Composed by a slave in Greek antiquity, some of the most ancient, sharp-witted and mysterious stories ever told.

In a series of pithy, amusing vignettes, the author creates a vivid cast of characters to demonstrate different aspects of human nature. It shows you a wily fox being outwitted by a quick-thinking cicada, a tortoise triumphing over a self-confident hare and a fable-teller named Aesop silencing those who mock the author.
