Abstract: en_US I was previously given a copy of this paperback book printed in 1991. Now I have chanced upon what is apparently the original 1988 printing. As I wrote there, I have very mixed feelings after reading this whole book; the reading was sometimes a chore. Aurelio, who acknowledges Aesop as a master without equal, here writes adult stories for the child-hearted. At their best the stories climax in the introduction of a dimension that we did not suspect existed. Among the best are The Artisan's Apprentice (1), The Maybe Miracle (65), The King and His Three Servants (76), and The Falcon and the Crutch (97). Other typical stories include: The Bridge (17), The Box (38), The Burden (54), The Peddler (69), and The Most Agreeable Kingdom (90). Some strong themes are that the gospel is a treasure to share and that possessions possess us.
