A near jewel from an unknown fantasist

The Fabulist is a well researched, carefully crafted fantasy that develops upon what is known of the legendary fable maker, Aesop. He is brought to life and his fables are cleverly used to lend color and depth to a delightfully characterized novel. Aesop is somewhat remenescent of Lawrence Sander's McNally character, and his wry commentary keeps us turning the pages. The end, though disappointing, is true to the historical data about Aesop, and seems plausible, where a more satisfying ending just might not be realistic.
