Whimsical But Tales Relevant & Outdated
***Due to its age, some concepts and wording selection the book may not be appropriate anymore for young readers.***
Queer Little Folks is a collection of animal stories provided for young readers of the 18th century who were raised on darker reads and words that hadn't been quite corrupted into modern slang.
The first part of the book and the majority of tales included animal characters with very real human responses and behavior that hasn't changed at all. These are mostly darker morality tales with relevant lessons even now.
The second part of the book changes focus from anthropomorphic animals characters to characters who are front and center human with animal-related events occurring. Less morality tales, these stories more or less feel like memoir episodes.
All in all, it was an intriguing read and one that I really didn't see coming from this particular author.

Fables with morals told by animals. Definitely recommending this to my teenaged daughter.
