Fables

Meer over het boek

Exploring the allure of fables, the author delves into their literary significance, particularly in his own semi-supernatural tales like "Will of the Mill" and "Jekyll and Hyde." These stories intertwine moral allegory with dreamlike elements. By the winter of 1887-88, he had amassed a collection of both traditional fables and longer, more mystical narratives, leading him to envision a cohesive book that reflects his fascination with this art form. The work encapsulates his insights and creativity in blending moral lessons with storytelling.
