About the Author

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, known as Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), was a colossal figure in Russian literature and one of the greatest novelists of all time. His works are notable for their intricate character development and moral philosophy. Born to an aristocratic Russian family, Tolstoy's literary career spanned over half a century, during which he wrote the classics 'War and Peace' and 'Anna Karenina', masterworks that delve into the complexities of human society and consciousness with unparalleled depth. His moral compass and quest for truth led him to adopt a unique brand of Christian anarchism, which influenced his later works such as 'The Kingdom of God Is Within You'. Tolstoy's commitment to social justice and his advocacy for nonviolent resistance had a lasting impact on civil rights leaders such as Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Among his works aimed at moral and educational upliftment is 'Fables for Children' which showcases his instructional storytelling prowess. Composed of simple yet profound tales, the fables present moral lessons and reflect his deep interest in pedagogy and moral development. His literary style is characterized by a fluid narrative, meticulous detail, and psychological depth, which has left an indelible mark on the world literature and continues to inspire readers and writers alike.
