Media Reviews
...the book is well written and readable, and the inclusion of 20th-century authors and topics ensures that fable is viewed as a living genre rather than one whose more moralistic time has passed. Recommended for public and academic libraries. - Library Journal
This book is a pleasure to read; even the introduction presents well-digested information in a sort of Cook's Tour of the history of fable. - School Library Journal
