What people are saying about it:
“Fantastic!”
—Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451
“Growing
up
with Aesop, Phaedrus, and La Fontaine at
easy reach, I was critical of modern attempts—that is, until James Thurber, the toughest act of all to follow. Well, comes now before us Margaret Harmon with her collection, and the prospects are bright for some fabulous reading once again.”
—Shelly
Lowenkopf,
author of The Fiction Writer’s Handbook
“Very clever.”
—Barnaby
Conrad,
author of Matador
“There is something hedonistic and luxurious inherent in these fables.”
—Carolyn
See,
author
of There Will Never Be Another You
“Our morally bankrupt culture has
been starving for a collection of relevant and applicable behavioral
lessons.
Our desperate calls are answered, thanks to Margaret Harmon’s long-overdue
book.”
—Robert Vavra, author of Vavra’s Vision:
Equine Images
“Wonderful, unexpected resolutions gently prod us to consider our own relationships.”
—Pam Dixon, author of Online Privacy
