This
site contains information about Aesop
and some of his fables. "Paper, it seems, just doesn’t last very
long. But the Web, on the other hand, might just be around in some form
in 10,000 years. That’s why we are dedicated to transferring all
the interesting old books we can find to the Web. We search the world over
for what Brother Bartholomew called "words worth saving." We then make
them available to everyone for free using the power of the Internet."
