Momma's Modern Fables is Holly Snow Sillau's seventy-fifth book. It's a follow-up to her fifty-eighth book, Momma's Fanciful Fairy Tales. This one is a collection of twenty-five contemporary fables. All but the last one bear the title of a famous children's story. The difference between a fairy tale and a fable is that a fable has a moral or teaches a lesson and is often about animals, but in this array of stories, the characters are people. The first twenty-four fables use titles from the works of Aesop, Jean de La Fontaine, Ambrose Bierce, and Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian. The last of the entries is an original one by the author. These fables are not intended for small children, but you'll appreciate the way the author skillfully weaves her narratives, so sit back, read, and enjoy!
