{ "item_title" : "Fabelio Modernus", "item_author" : [" James Chaucer "], "item_description" : "This project was born from a desire to discuss, in fable-type form, various topics related to our world and my beliefs about them. The very first story is also the one that has been in my mind for probably fifteen years now so I finally decided to write it down. It is a collection of twelve stories, two of which are related to each other, ie The Hound the Hawk and the Hare precedes the related story, The Hawk and the Hare. When you read them, you'll understand the connection. For people looking for a book of happy ending stories, I must say these aren't those because life itself is a mixture of good and bad, not a Disney tale. These are meant to be somewhat whimsical stories talking about some somewhat serious topics, perhaps a blend of Aesop's Fables and Grimm's Fairy Tales. I have been told that due to many of the dark endings these stories are perhaps not suitable for children. That would seem to depend on the child and on the parent. We once lived in a society in which children learned about loss at a very young age because they were raised on farms and in a time when we lacked the medicine we do today. Are children better off being shielded from those experiences and stories or weakened by it? Compare the people of today vs the ones from a hundred years ago and make your own decision.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/66/328/040/1663280401_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "16.99", "online_price" : "16.99", "our_price" : "16.99", "club_price" : "16.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
