From the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s podcast program, this learn node begins with a link to an RSS distributed podcast of a classic fable recorded for a family audience. The story on the podcast is The Lion and the Mouse, which can also be found in the Aesop’s Fables collection at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The Amherst collection has been built by students since 1994 and now includes some of the famed fables told with animations and interactivity. The Prelinger Archives offers a 1947 state-of-the-then art version (a frame captured above) of Aesop’s fable of The Hare and the Tortoise.
