- Abstract
- en_US This 100-page paperback, printed upon demand, offers fifteen short stories based generally on traditional Aesopic fables but transformed into short stories. eSmith is a fox cub who gets into adventures and learns of adventures from his tailless father and his "brash vixen" mother. I read the first five, which includes a story new to me about a fox meeting his shadow for the first time. eSmith's father lost his tail not in but on the ice. "The Eagle and the Fox revisited" follows the fable carefully. eSmith is the very cub stolen by the eagle, and his mother is the one who brings fire to the tree. In this version, she burns down the whole tree after her son's release. There is about one grayscale illustration per story.
