The fables of Aesop are full of wisdom garnered from life experiences: depend on yourself more than others, what goes around comes around, and always keep promises. But, learning from stories can sometimes be easier than just being told a lesson. Aesop’s fables show people’s strengths and weaknesses in action. Readers will see important character traits modeled for them in fables such as “The Lark and Her Young Ones” and “The Farmer and the Stork.” Accompanied by lovely illustrations, each fable offers another opportunity for learning lessons that can be used every day.

"The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing." This ancient Greek aphorism, preserved in a fragment from the poet Archilochus, describes the central thesis of Isaiah Berlin's masterly essay on Leo Tolstoy and the philosophy of history, the subject of the epilogue to War and Peace. Although there have been many interpretations of the adage, Berlin uses it to mark a fundamental distinction between human beings who are fascinated by the infinite variety of things and those who relate everything to a central, all-embracing system. Applied to Tolstoy, the saying illuminates a paradox that helps explain his philosophy of history: Tolstoy was a fox, but believed in being a hedgehog. One of Berlin's most celebrated works, this extraordinary essay offers profound insights about Tolstoy, historical understanding, and human psychology. This new edition features a revised text that supplants all previous versions, English translations of the many passages in foreign languages, a new foreword in which Berlin biographer Michael Ignatieff explains the enduring appeal of Berlin's essay, and a new appendix that provides rich context, including excerpts from reviews and Berlin's letters, as well as a startling new interpretation of Archilochus's epigram.

ILLUSTRATED STORIES OF WISDOM Have your children introduced to the wisdom of two of the most popular of Aesop's fables: The Hare and the Tortoise The Fox and the Stork (The Crane and the Fox) Fully illustrated: Every page is a colorful adventure. The text is easy to read and the illustrations look fun and inviting to a child. This book works great for bedtime storytelling as well. Preface "Hey, hurry up!" said Tom the woodpecker flying by his friend Sally. "What? Where to?" asked Sally. "There's a race coming up. Most of our friends are already at the sunny meadow." Sally spread her wings and took off. It was an early summer day. She felt the warm breeze of the wind beneath her wings. She flew above the nearby lake and saw from afar that the Stork was cooking a stew. An appetizing smell was steaming up from the cooking pot. There was no time to stop and chat with the Stork, because she was already nearing the sunny meadow. She saw Tom sitting high up on an elm tree branch and flew down to join him. "I hope I'm not late," she said. "You're right on time. It's just about to start." Down below, the Tortoise and the Hare were already lining up. The meadow was full of curious little animal faces. Peeking through the clouds, the sun was no less curious than everyone else. The racers were ready and waiting for the start signal. It was a challenge like no other.
