Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from I Have Reason to Believe I had not thought that Æsop´s Fables were so old. I find that some of them are "the common property of all Eastern nations," and that critics have even doubted the existence of the man Æsop. To me, near sixty years ago, they were new as new can be: and I read them - or am I thinking of Lafontaine? - as a story-book of real creatures. Not that mice could talk, not really talk: but the town mouse and the country mouse were almost as real to me as were my parents. They put in happy fable the moral which Sandford and Merton put in heavy prose. First, the town mouse went to stay with the country mouse, who had everything very simple. He did not stay long. It may have been only for "the inside of a Sunday" - horrible phrase - just for lunch in a cornfield, and tea with the country church mouse. It could hardly have been for a week-end: the fashion of week-ends is later than my childhood. He was bored by the country, and went back to town. Then, the country mouse went to stay with him. Oh, such a grand big mansion, and such delicious things to eat: ham, cheese, plumcake. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
