Produced by Chris Curnow, Elisa and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Bull Calf, and Other Tales" by A. B. Frost is a collection of short stories likely written in the early 1890s. This charming anthology presents a variety of tales that encapsulate humorous and whimsical situations, often involving animals and everyday characters. The stories reflect the tone and style of late 19th-century literature, infused with a playful spirit and keen observation of human behavior. The collection features several engaging narratives, such as the misadventures of the “Humane Man” who, in his efforts to save a bull calf, finds himself embroiled in a series of comedic escapades. Other tales explore themes of mistaken identity, unexpected twists, and the folly of pride, such as in "A Warning to Mutton that Thinks Itself Lamb." Each story showcases Frost's unique ability to blend humor with insightful commentary on society. The characters, from playful animals to hapless humans, navigate situations that highlight their quirks and complexities, making the collection both entertaining and thought-provoking.
