| Summary | "Ballads, Founded on Anecdotes Relating to Animals" by William Hayley is a collection of poetic ballads written in the early 19th century. This work explores the themes of loyalty, bravery, and the profound connections between humans and animals, often using the stories of specific animals to convey moral lessons. At the start of the book, the reader is introduced to a series of ballads that celebrate the virtues of various animals, such as dogs, elephants, and eagles. Each ballad tells a different story—one of a loyal dog named Fido who sacrifices himself to save his master, Edward, from danger; another presents an elephant that demonstrates gentleness and intelligence, acting heroically to protect a gardener from a tiger. Through these poignant anecdotes, Hayley crafts narratives that highlight themes of friendship, sacrifice, and the nobility of animals, aiming to inspire a sense of admiration and empathy in young readers.
