While fables are often seen as tales of old, this collection breathes new life into the genre, addressing contemporary themes that resonate with today’s world. In the titular story, Where To?, a globe shatters, yet no one claims responsibility.
Imagine an orchestra where discordant instruments ruin the symphony. Similarly, in ‘Monkey’, a tone-deaf primate is advised to embrace his true talent: leaping between branches. ‘Dear Fox’ portrays a fleeting truce between a fox and a rooster, only for old habits to resurface, leading to the rooster’s downfall.
From a timid deer navigating the dangers of the night, to a boastful crow obsessed with his own importance, and a misguided woodpecker urging the nightingale to mimic his drumming, this collection introduces a vibrant cast of characters. Engaging and universally appealing, these fables offer timeless lessons for readers young and old.
