Summary: "Fables of John Gay (Somewhat Altered)" by John Benson Rose is a collection of fables written in the late 19th century. This work draws from the original fables attributed to John Gay, presenting them with a fresh lens while maintaining the moral essence of the stories. The fables feature various animals and humans, often depicted in humorous or ironic situations, to convey ethical lessons relevant to everyday life. The opening of this collection introduces readers to its dedication and context, including a personal touch from the author in the dedication to a young girl named Margaret Rose. This sets a warm, familial tone as the author reflects playfully on the challenges of writing a book, linking it humorously to the tales that follow. The introduction includes a philosophical conversation between a shepherd and a philosopher, emphasizing the value of wisdom drawn from nature over traditional scholarly pursuits. This discussion sets the stage for the fables themselves, which promise to blend humor with moral teachings as they unfold, showcasing characters that embody various virtues and vices.
