About the Author - Aesop

Aesop is thought to have lived from the end of the sixth to the seventh centuries, BC. He was a slave but he told such a good story that he was freed. Everyone loved his stories and he was even invited by kings to tell the stories in their courts. He lived in ancient Greece. Not all of his stories were of Greek origin, though. Some may have come from other countries as well as earlier times. Aesop liked to give human characteristics to animals.

That's all I've got. Hope it's true!
