Si ritiene che Esopo sia vissuto nel VI secolo a.C., schiavo sull'isola greca di Samo. La sua capacità di impartire lezioni di moralità attraverso la storia ha reso il suo nome sinonimo del genere "favola". Nei racconti spiritosi e divertenti a lui attribuiti, volpi astute, lupi malvagi, formiche laboriose e altri, forniscono un commento sul comportamento umano mentre il narratore raccomanda le virtù del buon senso e della saggezza mondana. Le Favole erano già popolari da secoli prima che Roger L'Estrange pubblicasse una nuova traduzione inglese nel 1692, con l'intenzione dichiarata di fare una selezione completa rivolta ai bambini. Everyman ristampa il suo testo, insieme alle superbe incisioni di Stephen Gooden che furono pubblicate per la prima volta nel 1936 in un'edizione limitata.

Aesop was probably born in Thrace, Ancient Greece, around 600 BC. However, his existence as a historical figure is uncertain, though there are many legends surrounding him. The fables associated with him were not written down during his lifetime, but passed on through the oral tradition of storytelling, and eventually over 350 stories were collected under his name, many of which are still hugely popular today.
