Fantastic Fables is a collection of witty and satirical short stories written by Ambrose Bierce. The book presents a unique blend of humor, irony, and sarcasm, as the author uses animals and inanimate objects to convey his messages. Each fable is a self-contained story, with its own plot and characters, but all of them share a common theme: they are meant to teach a moral lesson or to criticize a social or political issue. Some of the fables are humorous and lighthearted, while others are darker and more thought-provoking. The book is a classic of American literature and a must-read for anyone who enjoys satire and allegory.1898. A wonderful collection of 245 tongue-in-cheek fables from the bitter pen of Ambrose Bierce. Bierce, who is one of the rare masters like Aesop and La Fontaine, often personified objects, animals and even abstract concepts to reinforce his satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
