Description
For ADULTS The Righteous Rogue; for children "The Juggler" and "The Stone Prince" are ancient stories whose message of love speaks to the child in all men and women of good will. "The Piper" and "The Black Forest Quartet" are CHILDREN'S fables based on German fold tales. "The Two Wishes and "The Happiest Day" are derived from Indian lore and are usually read to OLDER CHILDREN. The last story, "Baron Munchhausen," is based on the book of Baron Munchhausen narrative of his marvelous travels and campaigns that appeared in England at the end of the eighteenth century. Added narrative enhances the subtle morals each story was originally intended to illustrate. The author, Karl F. Hollenbach, takes eight favorite fables and expands on the teaching of the "lesson" of each. Done in a subtle and entertaining way to capture and hold the attention of any reader.
