Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Child's Version of �sop's Fables: With a Supplement Containing Fables From La Fontaine and Krilof
But, however excellent a line of teaching may be known to be, the pressure in regular lines of work is so great that, as a rule, general lessons take an uncertain hold, unless clearly defined in subject-matter and made a part of the required programme.
The desire to give the Fables to children at the time in their lives when their teachings will have greatest in?uence, and to present them in such a style as to make them available to teachers and attractive to children, has led to the prepara tion of the present child's version.
The book is therefore first a Reader; then a means of Language Culture; and last, but by no means least, a partial manual of practical Ethics.
