- Abstract
- en_US This is a good and noble book. I applaud Bennett's effort to bring together the stories of our heritage that can help people to moral literacy. I read the first chapter thoroughly and enjoyed it. I was stirred to get to the book finally when Fr. Tom Halley a few days ago mentioned how many of Aesop's fables he had found in this book. (I also wanted some background for reading The Book of Bad Virtues [1994]!) There is no acknowledged translation or version of Aesop used here, who contributes fifteen fables to the book--something to all chapters except those on Responsibility, Loyalty, and Faith. Two other stories are really fables: The King and His Hawk (37) and The Honest Woodman (602). The T of C at the beginning is generic. There is more help in the AI on 823.
