Aesop (6th Century BC)

Aesop lived in the time of Ancient Greece
in the 6th century BC, at least
His works include The Tortoise and the Hare,
The Boy Who Cried Wolf and still more to spare.
If you like his fables, just read along
You'll learn the difference between right and wrong.

Antoine Galland

Charles Dickens

Charles Perrault (1608-1703)

Charles Perrault lived from 1628-1703
He sure was a lot older then even me!
He was from France
And many of his stories, like Cinderella, were full of romance!
His brother Claude was an architect of the famous Louvre,
but Charles was more into the story-writing groove!
Famous for his versions of "Sleeping Beauty" and "Little Red Riding Hood"
He wrote a whole book of historic stories about people learning to do good.

Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875)

Hans Christen Andersen, a true great Dane
Mermaids and ducklings his stories contained.
His start was rough, trying multiple jobs
Before writing famous tales by the gobs.

Jeremy Frank

A writer with smarts
and a child at heart,
Jeremy gives the
old tales a fresh start.

Now he's making some new
to give kids a clue
on what is safe to
do and not do.

He works with us here
over summer and yule,
otherwise he can
be found up at school.
