Publisher's summary

"Fables for the Frivolous" is one of the earliest works by the American parodist Guy Wetmore Carryl. These fables are adapted from Jean de la Fontaine's original writings. The Aesop-style fables are written in verse, and are light-hearted retellings of fables from two centuries before, each ending with a moral and a pun. Among the more celebrated of the fables are "The Persevering Tortoise" and "The Pretentious Hare", "The Arrogant Frog" and "The Superior Bull", and "The Sycophantic Fox" and "The Gullible Raven".
