Cobwebs from an Empty Skull

by Ambrose BIERCE (1842 - 1914)

Fables of Zambri, the Parsee: Fables 43-47

Ambrose Bierce's collection of short parables, published under the pen name of Dod Grile, is similar to Aesop's Fables. This compilation is comprised of "Fables of Zambri, the Parsee," "Brief Seasons of Intellectual Dissipation" and the "Divers Tales," all of which were first serialized in the magazine "FUN." A great read for any lover of short stories or poetry with faraway lands, talking animals and supernatural occurrences! Summary by Mary Kay
