Sobre el libro
The Crow and the Pitcher is one of Aesop's Fables, numbered 390 in the Perry Index. It reflects an ancient observation of corvid behaviour, in which a crow solves the problem of getting a drink.

Sobre el autor
Aesop (c. 620–564 BCE) was a Greek fabulist and storyteller credited with the fables collectively known as Aesop's Fables. His existence remains unclear and no writings by him survive, but numerous tales attributed to him, many featuring anthropomorphic animal characters, have been gathered over the centuries in a storytelling tradition that continues today.
