Produced by An Anonymous Volunteer "Ade's Fables" by George Ade is a collection of humorous and satirical fables written in the early 20th century. The work includes a series of whimsical tales that critique human behavior and societal norms, using amusing characters and light-hearted storytelling to convey moral lessons. Each fable features a blend of wit and insight, making it a reflective yet entertaining read. The opening portion introduces the first fable, "The New Fable of the Private Agitator and What He Cooked Up," wherein a child named Tad dreams of grand ambitions that evolve over time, guided by Ambition. As he grows up, his aspirations shift from the simplicity of circus dreams to lofty desires for military greatness, wealth, and ultimately, social status. Each stage of his ambition is humorously depicted, illustrating how societal pressures and expectations can distort ambitious dreams into a relentless chase for success and approval.
