Fables

About this book

Robert Louis Stevenson's Fables gathers short, gleaming tales that compress human foibles into moments of wit and unexpected tenderness. Through brisk, lyrical vignettes—often starring animals, children, or the unwittingly foolish—Stevenson balances playful humor with clear-eyed moral insight, turning small incidents into vivid reflections on pride, kindness, and the quirks of character. Perfect for dipping into between errands or savoring slowly on a quiet evening, these stories charm without moralizing, leaving readers smiling, thinking, and delighting in the subtle twists that reveal the truth beneath everyday life.
