The Animal Parables (Paperback)

A dog who gets hold of the wrong end of the stick; a horse who beats the odds; a wasp who discovers a sting in the tail. This is the stuff of 'The Animal Parables'. Each tale features an animal who finds that things turn out to be quite different from how it imagined and profound life lessons are learned along the way. These seven, life affirming, tales will delight young minds and leave adults moved to reflection. In this collection Martin Day has re-discovered the power of the parable to layer deeper meanings under the skin of a simple narrative. In doing so he has created a collection of stories that sound at multiple levels. It's like the delight of finding that second tray under the first in a box of chocolates This collection is of the first seven of the Animal Parables. An eighth, 'The Frog', is not included.
