Fables (Classic Reprint) Synopsis

Excerpt from Fables

Whether it would have seen the light had he lived is doubtful; but after his death it seemed to his representatives of sufficient interest to be handed to Messrs. Long man, in part fulfilment of his old pledge to them, for publication in their Magazine, and there it first.
