Fables for Adults

Fanny Kemble Johnson

As we grow from child to adult we are usually told short stories which soften and help us understand the vital information a story has to impart. It’s a clever concept by saying one thing―many times with an animal protagonist―and meaning another. In adult years these stories continue along the same lines but what they are really saying is that what you see is not always what you get. Words from the pens of Oscar Wilde, Leo Tolstoy, Henry James and others really can illuminate and explain subjects difficult to broach. 1 - Fables for Adults - An Introduction 2 - The Devoted Friend by Oscar Wilde 3 - The Altar of the Dead - Part 1 by Henry James 4 - The Altar of the Dead - Part 2 by Henry James 5 - How Much Land Does A Man Need by Leo Tolstoy 6 - The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde 7 - The Rewards of Industry by Richard Garnett 8 - The Lightning Rod Man by Herman Melville 9 - The Man Who Hated God by Winifred Holtby 10 - The Strange Looking Man by Fanny Kemble Johnson 11 - The Model Millionaire by Oscar Wilde 12 - How a Muzhik Fed Two Officials by Nikolai Schedrin 13 - The Nightingale and the Rose by Oscar Wilde 14 - The Tale Of The Stairs by Hristo Smirenski 15 - The Juniper Tree by The Brothers Grimm 16 - The Three Palaces by Richard Garnett 17 - The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde 18 - Jeannot and Colin by Voltaire Author - Fanny Kemble Johnson.
