Some of you are probably aware of this website:

Aesop is good because the stories are short and filled with lots of fun vocabulary, which can function as a review as well as learning words you never knew were in the language. I’m reading the verse versions by Babrius and then the prose versions in Chambry. Enjoy (should you decide to do this)!

Notice also for Latin enthusiasts Phaedrus is included.

Our own bedwere has produced a version of these on the Composition Board, under the heading Μῦθοι Αἰσώπειοι, complete with illustrations. There’s a Latin version too.

I think the Life of Aesop would be more engaging myself, with just as much “fun vocabulary” for Barry. There’s a Bryn Mawr Commentaries edition of it by William Hansen. No pics though.
