Horse Fables

Abstract

Six good fables, each with a pleasant black-and-white illustration. The fables touch on these lessons: that the person who creates freedom will be followed; that the person who does not do anything will be terrorized; that loving is not crowding; that, if one is silly about the things that do not matter, one will be able to be serious about the things that do; that it is better to sit on the fence talking over intentions than to lie at someone's feet hoping for the best; and that running is a gift of the free that should always be enjoyed and exercised. The last illustration-of mare and filly running-may be the best. I am delightfully surprised by this little book.
