This program is read by the author, Natalie Portman.

Academy Award-winning actress, director, producer, and activist Natalie Portman retells three classic fables and imbues them with wit and wisdom.

Loved the stories

So good to listen to the older stories with a little revision. Natalie Portman has a lovely voice. Would love to hear it spoken slower for the young ones, but it was refreshing to hear. Thank you for the stories.

The notes by the author gives great perspective.

I don't have children, but I enjoyed the expenation and insight in the last chapter. I never considered how a male centered culture impacts the perceptions of children. I think the fable's are well adapted to today, as an update to very old wisdom. I admit, I enjoyed the author's notes, as the presented info i didn't know. very cool idea. Thank you for sharing you're knowledge.

Fables

I loved hearing the traditional fables with a new concept. Teaching children about all at a very young age is a wonderful thing to do. Bravo Natalie.

A beautiful thing

This audiobook was an absolute delight. Natalie's narration was excellent, the music was great, and the stories were as familiar and instructive as ever. My son and I truly enjoyed them. I do not think it was an accident that the woman who is about to embody a role only played by men (Thor) is adding this wonderful book to the world. Natalie, you are WORTHY!! I truly hope there are more volumes to come. Aesop has a LOT of fables. I'm just saying...
