The Dolphins, the Whales and the Gudgeon

A selection of Aesop's fables in this Little Black Penguin.
They are more often than not very short - a few sentences, and followed up with moral.

Over 2500 years old, the morals are generally as relevant now as then, although somewhat pessimistic (ie the ones about knowing ones place in society), and generally use animals or a mixtures of animals and people.

Short and sweet. 4 stars.
