George Fyler Townsend

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Reverend George Fyler Townsend was the translator of the standard English edition of Aesop's Fables.

Although there are more modern collections and translations, Townsend's volume of 350 fables introduced the practice of stating a succinct moral at the conclusion of each story, and continues to be influential. Several editions were published in his lifetime, and others since.

He also published numerous adaptations and versions of common children's stories, including Arabian Nights.
