I found these amusing, I found the introduction about the difference between a fairy tale and a fable more interesting though.

One word can describe this book = WITTY.

I was lucky to find this book at QB's clearance sale *sobs* with 70% discount. Kinda hard to find, I must admit. Anyone can easily download the e-book at the http://www.gutenberg.org

Well, as one can expect from fables, this book full with advises, moral lessons and things like that. Still, from more than 300 stories, it was still exciting to read them all. Growing up does not mean you cease to love fables.

Yeah yeah I know these fables are important to history and what not but it’s still a boring book.

I loved the design of the book and the illustrations.
