This is one of the first complete collections of medieval Latin fables to appear in modern English. Odo of Cheriton (c1185- c1247) wrote sophisticated fables, filled with great wit and humour, yet highly moral, even didactic, in keeping with the age - one vigorous in religious, philosophic, scientific, and social debate and conflict.
