The Latch Key of My Bookhouse SOMEWHERE in ancient Greece, the land of white-pillared cities and stately marble temples, was born as the little slave boy, Aesop. While he was still a child, Aesop was brought to the far-famed city of - Athens. There he was sold, like an ox or a sheep, from one master to another and performed in each household the hard and thankless duties of a slave.

At last the young slave's cleverness caught the attention of his master, Iadmon, the Samian, and as a fitting reward, Iadmon set him free. Thereupon, Aesop journeyed to the magnificent court of Croesus, King of Lydia, with w
