Before schooling was widely available, for most people the
classroom was at the fireside, the field and the country lane,
where the bards told their tales. Many such folk tales exist to
convey life-lessons in an entertaining way. These stories are not
the pontifications of ancient philosophers: they are the gleanings
of countless storytellers, everyday men and women with hard-won
life experiences and pockets full of folklore. The tales reflect
the times and places of their origin, but have been handed down
from generation to generation, evolving to meet changing times.
Some are amusing; some are thought-provoking; all have been
polished and honed for so long that their message slips, almost
imperceptibly, into the mind. Fools and Wise Men retells these
stories for new generations - repaying our debts to the bards of
old.
