Margaret Harmon has a new collection of original fables, "The Genie Who Had Wishes of His Own: 21st-Century Fables." Twenty-two brand new heroes, villains, and earnest strivers go after health, love, and fulfillment. These are fables we read when the children are asleep.
Quirky and determined, these trapeze artists, juggler, caterpillar, song sparrow, ballerina, and the rest are exactly who we want them to be: us. Our favorites will remain with us, walking beside us as private guardians and powerful allies when we face life's challenges.
"Fantastic!"
—Ray Bradbury, author of "Fahrenheit 451"
"There is something hedonistic and luxurious inherent in these fables . . . Look around for this book. You'll find it useful in countless social and literary ways." —Carolyn See, author of "There Will Never Be Another You"
"Growing up with Aesop, Phaedrus, and La Fontaine at easy reach, I was critical of modern attempts—that is, until James Thurber, the toughest act of all to follow. Well, comes now before us Margaret Harmon with her collection, and the prospects are bright for some fabulous reading once again." —Shelly Lowenkopf, author of "The Fiction Writer's Handbook"
"Very clever."—Barnaby Conrad, author of "Matador"
"Wonderful, unexpected resolutions gently prod us to consider our own relationships." —Pam Dixon, author of "Online Privacy"
