Summary "Favourite Fables in Prose and Verse" by Harrison Weir is a collection of fables written in the late 19th century. This compilation includes a series of moral tales, drawing on the classic tradition of fable storytelling, featuring various animals that teach valuable life lessons through their encounters and misadventures. Each fable is accompanied by illustrations, enriching the experience for younger readers and allowing for an engaging exploration of common ethical themes. The opening of the collection introduces readers to several fables, beginning with "The Fox and the Goat," where a cunning fox tricks a naive goat into jumping into a well, only to escape on his own. This is followed by tales like "The Frog and the Ox," showcasing the folly of envy and ambition. Each story ends with a moral, such as "A rogue will give up the best friend he has to get out of a scrape," emphasizing the importance of discernment and trust. The initial chapters establish the whimsical yet instructive tone of the book, making it a timeless resource for teaching children about morality and wise living.
