Excerpt from Fables and Symbols: Truth and Humor for Old and Young

I ask the indulgence of the public on the following fables, for I am aware that they are far from being perfect. I did the best I could. Born in France I could not Speak English when I came to sunny California where I have since writen these, and it is with reluctance that I venture their publication.

Fable - lore with its cheering flashes of wit and humor has ever enlivened the leisure hours of man, while symbols and parables whose interpretations are as varied as they are fathomless, stimulate the Observation of the thinking minds and often suggest truths that will produce everlasting im pressions.

He who loves nature and has a universal compassion for man and beast vibrates with the pulsations of the planet, lives in two worlds, enjoys and acts upon two spheres, for manifold are the layers of human consciousness and endless its ramifications.
