In this collection of original fables for the modern world, Lisa Suhay, a writer for the New York Times, brings us back to a time when life's lessons were taught in tales by characters who shared our loves, losses, and weaknesses. Though our problems have become more complex, many solutions remain as simple as remembering the basics of love, honesty, friendship, and faith. Come into this world of old and new where eagles soar for love, chameleons fight for justice, and carousels turn lives around.
