Aesops Animals: The Science Behind the Fables Wimpenny Jo
A critical look at the beloved fables that investigates whether there is any scientific truth to Aesop's portrayal of his animals.Despite being conceived over two-and-a-half thousand years ago, Aesop's Fables are still passed from parent to child today, and are embedded in our collective consciousness.
