Legend of an Iron Tower and Other Fables is a collection of seventeen fables translated from the original Ukrainian version.  They are lovely fairy tales that teach life lessons.  Most of them have a Christian slant and show people struggling against life's hardships. Good ones include, "A Wrapper," which is a story about a proud candy wrapper sitting in a candy shop window with a bunch of chocolates.  When she becomes squashed in the mud under someone's foot, she learns a lesson in humility. And "Re-Lig (Angel Incarnate)," a story about an angel coming down to earth, attempting to live as a human and facing numerous temptations.Readers who enjoy fables will find this an inspiring read.
