- Abstract
- en_US This is the book I had hoped for when I first found Handelsman's 1984 St. Martin's Press offering of the same title. It is full of delightful parodies of traditional Aesopic fables. In fact, only a few of the offerings fall outside the realm of fable. Among the best, I think, are Truth in Exile (where it seems that truth herself is caught in a lie); BW (dutiful wolves answer to the call, even though it is Sunday); The Crow Who Had a Go (getting a bunch of wool turns out to be great luck!); FG (which centers on the grapes, who are bitter about being sour); and MSA (Moral: You can please everyone, but it's time-consuming). The pamphlet, 64 pages in length, is landscape rather than portrait, 5¾ x 8¼.
