Kniha - 192 stran, česky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Ezop je považován za zakladatele řecké bajky a patří dodnes k nejznámějším bajkařům. Narodil se pravděpodobně jako otrok, po propuštění z otroctví hodně cestoval. Své bajky přednášel ústně, byly zapsány mnohem později. Šlo o krátké prozaické příběhy se stručným dějem, v nichž vystupovala ustálená skupina postav, zvláště zvířata a rostliny, které přebírají lidské vlastnosti. Mnohdy se objevují také skuteční lidé a postavy řeckých bohů. Dialog dává bajkám spád, posiluje dramatičnost a dynamiku příběhů. Některé bajky obsahují - většinou na konci - didaktické poučení.

Kniha - autor Hans Christian Andersen, 192 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu lesklá Kniha obsahuje nejznámější pohádky proslulého dánského spisovatele Hanse Christiana Andersena. Tyto Pohádky jsou určeny především starším dětem a dospělým. Andersen v pohádkách oživuje neživé věci a nechává je promlouvat, stejně jako zvířata. Obyčejní lidé a děti jsou v jeho pohádkách často chytřejší než boháči a mocní. Autor využívá svůj smysl pro humor a ironii k zesměšnění špatných lidských vlastností, a tak se čtenáři nejen pobaví, ale jejich morální vlastnosti jsou také posíleny, zejména schopnost empatie. Spisovatelův osobitý styl a poutavá dějová linie pohádek přimějí čtenáře přečíst je jedním dechem.
