520 As generations have learned from these ancient animal
stories, fine feathers don't necessarily make fine birds,
slow and steady helps win the race, and it's a mistake to
count your chickens before they're hatched. Twenty-four
timeless fables, recounted in verse, are complemented by
distinctive wood engravings featuring black-and-red
silhouettes of the legendary creatures. Readers of all
ages will delight in tales of the lordly lion whose
generosity is repaid by a tiny mouse, the miser who
destroys his own good fortune by killing the goose that
laid golden eggs, and the greedy dog who loses his ill-
gotten gains because he's jealous of his own reflection.
Many of the fables are accompanied by charming poems that
note the healing power of song, the futility of quarrels,
the worth of kindly deeds, and other sage advice.
