Resawed Fables is a book written by Douglas Malloch and first published in 1911. The book is a collection of fables, which are short stories that often feature animals as characters and convey a moral lesson. However, Malloch's fables are unique in that they take classic fables and ""resaw"" them, or give them a modern twist. For example, one of the fables in the book is a retelling of the classic story of the tortoise and the hare, but in Malloch's version, the hare is a race car driver and the tortoise is a farmer with a slow-moving tractor. The moral of the story remains the same - slow and steady wins the race - but the updated setting adds a new layer of interest for readers. Overall, Resawed Fables is a clever and entertaining book that offers a fresh take on classic fables. It is suitable for readers of all ages who enjoy stories with moral lessons and a touch of humor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
