Safed the Sage, the famous parable-telling creation of William
Eleazar Barton, emerges to dispense poignant portions of worldly
wisdom. For the author, parables are an underappreciated method of
tutoring others in morality, of introducing the comparisons and
contrasts of life and its events, that they gain a grounding in
dealing with affairs wisely and with discernment. For William
Barton, gaining this insight via anecdotes is a stepping down to
reflecting the condition of the heavenly kingdoms spoken about in
the Christian lore. The origin of the Safed the Sage series - which
went on to span several books, that together had millions of
readers in the USA and elsewhere - is explained. Barton set about
writing a modern take on old parables, wherein a man and wife
travelling the country relate stories as they journey around by
rail, steamboat or otherwise.
