The work is designed to entertain and educate children, encompassing a variety of themes and moral lessons through engaging narratives featuring colorful characters, including animals and children. This collection has been popular for its accessible yet profound storytelling that resonates with the young audience. The opening of this delightful anthology introduces us to the Fairborne family who live in the village of Beechgrove. The family enjoys hosting gatherings that involve storytelling, which serves as the foundation for the fables shared throughout the book. It describes how the family and their friends gather to read these stories from a specially kept box, named the Budget, to entertain the younger members during holidays. The inaugural stories presented include fables involving animals, such as a young mouse and a wise mother, a friendship between a wasp and a bee, and a proud goose who learns about humility, all imparting valuable lessons suitable for young minds.
