I didn’t come from a family of storytellers but my father, a librarian, brought me all sorts of books from work, including Aesop’s Fables.
I loved these stories, which usually involved animals and morals, and were believed to have been handed down from a Greek storyteller named Aesop. Some of my favorites included Belling the Cat, The Shepherd’s Boy ( more commonly know as The Boy Who Cried Wolf), and The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse.
And, I loved the added bonus at the end of each fable – the moral typed out in quotes.
