Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bizarre Fables: A Series of Eccentric Historiettes
Amongst the most amusing and instructive studies of our early years are those brief, unassuming com positions called Fables. The period of action is usually the pastoral ages; and the actors are the cunning fox, the cruel wolf, the innocent lamb, the vain peacock, the industrious ant, and other birds, beasts, fishes, reptiles, and insects, of established character, Who most miraculously hold discourse in good set terms, and argue the point like reasonable creatures, as they are the incidents, though few, are sufficiently interesting; and the moral at the end rounds off the story effectively, and leaves us in no.
