On 26 March 1484, pioneering English printer William Caxton published his translation of Aesop's Fables, making the timeless moral tales widely accessible to English-speaking audiences for the first time.
As the father of English printing, Caxton’s work not only preserved these ancient Greek stories but also contributed to the standardisation of the English language.
His edition of Aesop’s Fables became a literary milestone, influencing generations of readers and cementing the enduring legacy of these instructive allegories.
