Foxes, cats, hens, lions and jackals carry the lessons in this anthology of fables gathered from across the world: Aesop first, then Bidpai and the Hitopadesa from India, followed by Malayan, Moorish and other traditions. Wiggin and Smith open with an introduction that tries to make twenty-five centuries feel close to a child, then let the beasts speak.
A broad, well-chosen fable collection that shows how the same animal wisdom travels between cultures. Download the free EPUB.
