Abstract
-
en_US
Books about fables in 2021, from several directions, work to "save" Aesop rather than to get beyond him. As Justin David Strong uses Aesop to understand Luke's parables, so here Jo Wimpenny investigates the reality that many of Aesop's unlikely fables actually reflect what happens in nature. Crows do learn how to put pebbles into jars! Fable purists, like the present reader, will probably profess that they do not care whether there is a natural basis for Aesop's engaging stories, but Wimpenny is there to say that the more we know, the more we know about the likelihood of Aesop's stories. Bravo, Wimpenny!
