The Hour Glass: Sixty Fables for This Moment in Time Hardcover - 1989

by Carl Japikse; Mark Peyton (Illustrator)


From the publisher

The Hour Glass is a collection of fables spun in the inventive mind of Carl Japikse. But these are fables with a difference, for each is like a grain of sand which, as it is read, magically transforms itself into a growing seed of insight into fundamental themes of human living.

This delightful set of stories embraces a wide range of fabulous characters -- from an artistic donkey and an intellectual coyote to a politicking baboon and a messianic minnow. There are even a few fables about men and women -- 60 fables in all.
