"Fables for the Frivolous" is one of the earliest works by the American parodist Guy Wetmore Carryl. These fables are adapted from Jean de la Fontaine's original writings. The Aesop-style fables are written in verse, and are light-hearted retellings of fables from two centuries before, each ending with a moral and a pun. Among the more celebrated of the fables are "The Persevering Tortoise" and "The Pretentious Hare", "The Arrogant Frog" and "The Superior Bull", and "The Sycophantic Fox" and "The Gullible Raven".©2016 Audioliterature (P)2016 Audioliterature World Literature Historical Fiction Literary History & Criticism Heartfelt
