Abstract
-
en_US
I finally broke down and ordered this book, and now I regret it. Chapter 1 is The Beast Fable, but my sense is that the author is concerned with any animal story in which the animal has human intelligence. Animal fable and animal fantasy meld as a platform for recent science fiction stories involving animals. Ovid and Apuleius are mentioned in the same breath with Aesop as sources for what happens with animal fable today. This book will mean more to others to come, and so I am happy to include it in the collection.
