About the Book

Aesop's Fables have been told for over two thousand five hundred years. They teach morals using animals, plants, inanimate objects and Pagan gods that are sentient and can speak, and have been translated into most, if not all, of the major languages of the world. This author has translated the Fables into rhymed poetry.
About the Author: The Author was born in Foley, Alabama, on October 20, 1936. He began school in a 2-room parochial (Catholic) school in Elberta, Alabama, when five years of age, and daydreamed his way through eight different schools in Alabama and Illinois, finally graduating when seventeen from a public high school in Harvey, Illinois. He enlisted in the US Navy when seventeen years of age. It was a "kiddie cruise" and required parental approval. He would be released from active duty when he reached the age of twenty one. He graduated from the US Navy Electronics School on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. He served aboard LSTs as an Electronics Technician, radar specialist, and was honorably discharged as a second class Petty officer just before he was twenty one years old. While in the Navy, he had enrolled in a correspondence course to study radio and television engineering in preparation for taking the FCC examination to obtain a Radiotelephone Operator's license needed to work as a Radio or TV station engineer. He passed the exam and obtained the license, with a Radar endorsement. Jobs were scarce because Radio and TV shows were now being pre-recorded on magnetic tape and not as many engineers were needed as had been required for "live" shows. He obtained a job for a major US Airline at LaGuardia Airport as a radio Mechanic which required the same FCC license. He worked on the midnight shift, and enrolled in Queens College, where he studied pre-engineering, and graduated from City College in New York City with a baccalaureate in Electrical Engineering. He met Barbara, his wife-to-be, when she was completing her studies at Queens College for a baccalaureate in Mathematics to become a mathematics teacher. They had one child, Marianne, who lives nearby. He is yet married to Barbara, over fifty five years later. They live in the same house they purchased in 1965, over fifty years ago. He retired from the airline twenty years ago. About seven years ago he acquired a passion for writing rhymed poetry. It is a pleasant disease.
