J_BlueFlower (j_from_denmark) | 387 comments Does anyone know of a ebook version of Aesop's Fables with ALL the fables? The book linked on the group self ”includes 600 fables”. There is a link to a ebook version but that ”only” has 300-some fables. Project Gutenberg has a slightly different version also with around 300 fables. Does anyone know a version with more fables than 300 preferably 600+?

Not an ebook, but you can read them for free online.


J_BlueFlower (j_from_denmark) | 387 comments No, I want something to put in an ereader.

Here is one version with is very old-fashioned English:

I would like a newer one. (English is not my first language), but maybe other will find it useful.

J_BlueFlower (j_from_denmark) | 387 comments After having searched some, I have settled for this edition:
Aesop's Fables by Aesop Arthur Rackham (Illustrator), G. K. Chesterton (Introduction), V.S. Vernon Jones (Translator)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Ebook free download here:
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11339

It is a different and slightly longer version than the one linked to from the main edition book page

The Gibbs translation is also available in the link Sandi mentioned earlier, which looks to be a really useful resource.
