Abstract
Bennett used especially readers for children from around the turn of the century and found material that surprised him with its quality. By comparison with his first volume, The Book of Virtues (1993), the stories here are for him more intriguing and imaginative…more stories of the spirit (14). The fables here include: The Wounded Pine Tree (Babrius, 86); The Fox and the Cat (148); TT (150); Fortune and the Beggar (Krylov, 169); The Miser (176); DM (176); TMCM (177); The Blind Men and the Elephant (192); The Man and His Piece of Cloth (195); Industry and Sloth (204); The Ingratitude and Injustice of Men Towards Fortune (La Fontaine, 209); The Stag at the Pool (218); MSA (221); WL (224); The Camel's Nose (237); The Two Travelers and the Oyster (238); The Crab and His Mother (522); The Old Man and Death (616); and Bat (643). Not a bad showing for the genre! As for non-fables, my favorite here may be The Friend of a Friend of a Friend (166). It is so enticing just to pick up this book and start reading…. See my comments on The Book of Virtues.
