The Fox and the Grapes
The Tortoise and the Hare
Androcles and the Lion
The Crow and the Pitcher
The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing and many more
How can the Tortoise run faster than the Hare? What happens when the Dog growls at its image? Or when the Country Mouse goes to supper with the Town Mouse? These wonderful stories have delighted adults and children for centuries, with their witty observations on animals and humans too. In the Fox, in the Crow, in the Lion, in the Ass who puts on a wolf's skin, we see humankind with all its foibles.
The stories are told with the enduring magic of a master storyteller, and set against the bright sounds of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and other concertos.
