Aesop fables...

Lovely narration, it brings the story alive. Also, the way each story has been recreated is lovely. The classic story's are wonderful to prune more about and find out about.

No titles to the chapters - annoying

Great performances by great actors.
40 unnamed chapters is annoying.
Audible, please fix this!

Good audiobook

I didn't get much of the morale as I think this is better for reading or listening at a slower pace.Otherwise the production and effects was excellent..
