AESOP'S FSBLES STE TIMELESS GEMS OF WISDOM

Just as a UN Undersecretary told me in 2010, on launching my book on Proverbs,fables like parables or proverbs are the chips that carry summaries of ancient wits or wisdom .Aesop's Fables serve the same purpose. I recommend them as a daily tonic for all those who need wisdom for life.
