The Fables of Leonardo da Vinci



5 stars:
This was a delightful read and one that has gotten me thinking about the connection between story and character formation or virtue education. For anyone with kids this provides wonderful bedtime material as da Vinci has mastered the fable as well as he seemed to master everything else he attempted. The seventy-three fables come alive with some fantastic color illustrations.

I'm going to look for it for my youngest for Christmas. (Three prepositional phrases in a row! Think I'll get low marks for style?) Hope my rather weak chain bookstore can get it.

The rather weak chain bookstore says they can not get it. They said to look for a used copy online. Oh, pooh!
