Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contains 80 fables, some new, and the rest collected from various sources, including ancient and Eastern repositories. The fables are all written in prose and feature realistic animal characters in realistic settings who behave like humans in each story. The author presents fables as a form of literature that has withstood the test of time as a way of illustrating moral character and behavior. They are designed to be entertaining and instructive alike, teaching lessons about human nature. The tales offer insights into human nature and feature realistic animal characters in realistic settings. The reader will see greed, ambition, pride, and flattery illustrated, but may also find tales that represent virtue and good sense. Given the author's intent, some readers may be disappointed to find several morals attached to a single fable, but these supplementary messages add to the value of each story. This collection is a reminder that fables continue to be a useful way to convey lessons about morality and human nature.
