Remark:
Here are 143 fables, each starting on a new page, in a simple paperback claimed by no author. A quick test of the texts does not reveal a standard source. A long T of C at the beginning lists each fable. There are no other materials either before or after the texts. The back cover says According to Herodotus, Aesop lived in the region of Amasis, Egypt, in the mid-sixth century BC. Amasis is a ruler, not a region, and Herodotus puts Aesop in Asia Minor, not Egypt! My! The cover features a simple illustration of FG against a blue background.
