Fables in slang

George Ade, a 19th-century American journalist and writer, published a book in 1897 titled Fables in Slang. He invented a unique way to tell fables in his book "Fables in Slang." In this book he tells the stories of familiar characters from the fables with a twist. The dialect is as different as the animal.These entertaining stories are told in the vernacular of the time and were based on his own observations of life around him. Written long before the advent or widespread use of words such as “copacetic” and “bunkum,” these amusing fables focus on topics such as greed, luck, and laziness. Fables in Slang is written in slang and includes illustrations by A.B. Frost that add humor and emotion to this delightful book.
