Book Description

Publication Date: July 14, 2003

In these ancient and modern fables from Homer, Ovid, Boccace and Chaucer, Mr. Dryden has written nothing which favors of immorality or profaneness, at least he was not conscious to his self of any such intention. He endeavored to choose such fables as contain in each of them some instructive moral, which leap foremost into sight. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read. Written in Old English.
