About this audiobook

As we grow from child to adult we are usually told short stories which soften and help us understand the vital information a story has to impart. It’s a clever concept by saying one thing―many times with an animal protagonist―and meaning another. In adult years these stories continue along the same lines but what they are really saying is that what you see is not always what you get.

Words from the pens of Oscar Wilde, Leo Tolstoy, Henry James and others really can illuminate and explain subjects difficult to broach.
