Abstract
At last I have had an opportunity to read some of the stories here. As one would expect from Bill O'Malley, they are lively and pointed. They are probably much more fairy tales than fables. At least the three I have read are such. Heavy on magic, the stories are good at suggesting what O'Malley's introduction refers to as the great truths. Some truths are simply too enormous to capture in ironclad treatises: love, honor, passion, freedom, heart-weariness. These his stories get at. I particularly enjoy Give Heed to the Clever Fox (135). It offers a good sense of how slow we are to learn.
