Fables for the Times

Fables for the Times by Henry Wallace Phillips is a set of funny stories where animals act like people to teach important lessons about life and society during the early 1900s. The book uses animals in different situations to show the silly and smart things that humans and animals do. The stories are a mix of old-style fables with a modern feel, where animals like clever sheep and tricked dogs face problems that teach us about being vain, wanting too much, and being wise. Each story is told in a lighthearted way, ending with a funny twist that shows how people can be flawed, offering a fun way to think about life's funny and tricky parts.
