The fables of Esop in English; with all his life and fortune. How he was subtil, wise, and born in Greece, not far from Troy the great, in a town named Amonio. He was of all other men the most deformed, and evil shapen, for he had a great head, a large visage, ... large feet; and yet that which was worse, he was dumb, and could not speak: but notwithstanding this, he had a singular wit, and was very ingenious and subtil in cavillations, and pleasant in words, after he came to his speech. Whereunto are added the fables of Avian, and also the fables of Alphonso, with the fables of Poge the Florentine; very pleasant to be read
