Aesop, in Rhyme Old Friends in a New Dress By: Marmaduke Park
In a realm of fables, playful and wise, Aesop's tales enchant, to our surprise. With timeless lessons, they've charmed through the years, Now Marmaduke Park presents them, in new gears! "Rhyme Old Friends in a New Dress" he named, Embarking on a quest, his pen untamed. Breathing life to characters, long adored, He paints fresh strokes on this folklore storyboard. These cherished tales we know since childhood's dawn, Now dance to a rhythm, poetic and strong. Structured in verse, each word melts on our lips, As Park's mastery of rhyme becomes a blissful eclipse. From impatient hare to diligent ant, Aesop's protagonists charm, enchant. Vivid imagery springs forth in each line, Igniting imagination, forever to entwine. The Lion and the Mouse, in connections rare, Demonstrate how virtues hold treasures to share. Fostering empathy, they sow seeds of love, With friends, small or mighty, soaring above. But beware, young readers, for these tales hold a twist, As Park skillfully adds moral gems to the midst. Peeling back layers with a magician's grace, He delivers hidden truths to any reader's embrace. In "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," pretense unveils, A lesson on honesty, applying to all tales. As Park weaves this yarn, caution dances so neat, Imparting solemn wisdom to never deceive or cheat. And let's not forget that ardent "Goose that Laid Golden Eggs," Where greed's story unfolds, entangled in webs. Park's poetic depths uncover an aching heart, Warning of obsession that can tear lives apart. While Aesop's tales have graced literary shelves, Marmaduke Park respects them, like no one else. With respect for tradition, he pays his dues, Breathing fresh life into these age-old views. So "Rhyme Old Friends" invites us anew, To wander through morals that never lose their hue. With enchanting language and lessons so clear, Park rekindles Aesop's allure, forever revered. First Page: [Illustration] [Illustration: Æsop in Rhyme] ÆSOP, IN RHYME; OR, OLD FRIENDS IN A NEW DRESS.
