Reading this book is like revisiting old friends, peopled as it is
with such familiar characters as the hare and the tortoise, Reynard
the fox, Ali Baba and a host of other tricksters, rascals and
heroes. This encyclopedia, an exploration rather than a retelling,
also draws on a range of less familiar writings to offer a
wide-ranging review of world fable from ancient times to the
present day. It is particularly appealing for its decent-sized
entries and the charming (black-and-white) reproductions of
engravings, photographs and illustrations. (Kirkus UK)
Fable is one of the most interesting genres of world literature.
From ancient times to the present, fabulists have sought to convey
moral points through tales which typically involve animals. This
text presents a guide to the subject, covering major works,
characters and situations as well as the genre's creators,
collectors and illustrators.
