Books with title Reynard the Fox and other fables

"Some folks say Reynard the Fox is a rascal. They will tell you he is sly, and up to all sorts of tricks. He prowls around at night, smelling the air with his long nose, and listening with his long ears; and when he has done prowling, you may be pretty sure he is not as hungry as when he set out."So begins "How Reynard the Fox Fooled the Raven," the first of these eighteen enchanting stories. The adventures of Reynard, the great folkloric trickster, along with those of other animals are charmingly adapted by William Trowbridge Larned from Jean de La Fontaine's classic fables. Striking color illustrations by artist John Rae enhance "The Tortoise and the Hare," "Jocko the Monkey and Mouser the Cat," "The City Mouse and the Country Mouse," "The Grasshopper Goes to the Ant," and other timeless tales.

Excerpt from Reynard the Fox, and Other FablesIf there are partridges to be had, he makes his meal on partridges. No one not even you or me likes a fat bird better than the Fox likes it; the only difference being that we like the bird on toast, hot from the oven, and cooked just so, while the Fox is not nearly so fussy, and is quite content with his meal, only asking that there be enough!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In Aesops fable of The Horse and His Rider, a boy buys a horse without asking if it has been broken for riding yet. As he mounts his new steed, the horse takes off at a gallop, clearly not ready to be ridden. The central lesson is a good one for readers to consider: act quickly without thinking and suffer the consequences. More than a dozen other fables offer wisdom and advice through their accessible text and charming, full-color illustrations. Readers will enjoy Aesops animated characters as they begin to understand that those strong in self and character always triumph.

The fables of Aesop are full of wisdom garnered from life experiences: depend on yourself more than others, what goes around comes around, and always keep promises. But, learning from stories can sometimes be easier than just being told a lesson. Aesops fables show peoples strengths and weaknesses in action. Readers will see important character traits modeled for them in fables such as The Lark and Her Young Ones and The Farmer and the Stork. Accompanied by lovely illustrations, each fable offers another opportunity for learning lessons that can be used every day.
