Fables for the Frivolous

A lively anthology of short, tongue‑in‑cheek fables invites listeners to revisit classic moral tales with a fresh, mischievous twist. Each story pits an animal or humble creature against a boastful counterpart, using clever dialogue and vivid illustration to explore themes of ambition, perseverance, and humility. The verses are peppered with playful wordplay, making the morals feel both timeless and delightfully contemporary.

The collection moves from a sly fox thwarted by a farmer’s glass‑capped wall to a determined tortoise outpacing a bragging hare, and continues with a parade of proud peacocks, scheming jays, and many other quirky duels. Listeners will enjoy the rhythmic storytelling that balances humor with gentle wisdom, encouraging reflection without heavy-handed preaching. Ideal for a short, thoughtful listening session, these fables charm both the young and the young‑at‑heart.
