The thesis presents two writers and theirs fables, Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić and Silvija Šesto. The focus is on their collections Sabrana djela Ivane Brlić-Mažuranić (critical edition) which are prepared by Ivana Žužul and Tvrtko Vuković and collection of fables (Z)ezopove basne. As an important literary text for children, fables hold prominent position. Along with the fable, there are motives, allegory and human weakness that stands out and they are described in a very satirical way. The selected books we listed at the beginning contain fables and the authors used Aesop's fables and his motives as a base. Thanks to Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić croatian literature got fables with more quality and some of them are published in magazins but some of them remained unpublished during her lifetime. Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić fables are full of Aesop's motives but Ivana adds a lot of her author style which gives them a specific stamp. Silvija Šesto is a contemporary writer. Her collection of fables (Z)ezopove basne has been published in 2018. Silvija Šesto, like Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić starts from Aesop's motives, but she adapts them to the 21st century and new generations. The aim of this thesis was to compare the fables of the two authors and their similarities and differences. Although their fables are based on Aesop's fables, each of the authors adds their own special authorial style and adapts them to the time they live. Both collections are very valuable in today's world because they encourage readers to reflect on basic human values.
