Bacon published this interesting little work in 1609. It contains thirty-one fables abounding with a union of deep thought and poetic beauty. In most fables he explains the common but erroneous supposition that knowledge and the conformity of the will, knowing and acting, are convertible terms.

Francis Bacon’s landmark writings on subjects ranging from anger and ambition, marriage and money, to envy and empire established him as the founding father of modern scientific thinking, with his rejection of superstition and his emphasis on proof and experiment, rational enquiry and reasoned argument. Writings include: • Of Revenge • Of Parents and Children • Of Envy • Of Love • Of Goodness and Goodness of Nature • Of Cunning • Of Beauty • Of Negotiating • Of Anger • And many more
