- Abstract
- en_US Yet another of George Ade's funny fable books; see others done in 1899, 1900, and 1920. I read the first stories here. The best of these is The New Fable of the Father Who Jumped In. A great deal of the fun lies in the slang. These stories seem longer to me than others of Ade's that I have read; perhaps they are played out too long. There is wise social criticism here of which Aesop would be proud. The typesetter should be less proud of Abe's Fables at the bottom of the first page of the T of C.
