Billy Mern is a special boy from Manchester, England, who can speak to animals, and on his eighteenth birthday, he is greeted by a rabbit named Ware, who gives Billy the news that he is a Fable King, and a Fable King can have a wonderful relationship with all walks of life. After a frightening assassination attempt, Billy Mern ends up going with Ware to a mythical island called Memoril, and on this island, that is home to all creatures, common, legendary, great and small, he must go on a journey, all around Memoril; he must find and gather his seven chosen newborn fable companions: a baby phoenix, a baby snake, a baby dragon, a baby kraken, a baby wolf, a baby dinosaur, and a baby giant spider. And if Billy can do that, if he can travel all around this fantastic island and traverse the many dangers it has in store, then together, with his seven fable companions, he must go deep into the pit of the island's heart, deep, deep down into the Dark Ruin, and there he must defeat the evil Fable God - Deathendus - a magic-breathing half-dragon, half-serpent beast!

"It's one of the most incredible stories in all of history. A young boy, out of nowhere, is chosen to be the emperor of most of the known world. What he learned, what he did, who he was, would echo in eternity. In 138 AD, Hadrian, the emperor of Rome, chose Marcus Aurelius to succeed him. He knew no one was born ready for the job, so he arranged for the young boy's education. The greatest philosophers of the day were assigned to teach him, and all threw themselves at the almost inhuman task of preparing someone for absolute power. It's a parable for life, really. The gods, fate, someone chooses something for us, calls us to something. Will we answer? Will we step up? Will we achieve the greatness within us? Marcus Aurelius did. Absolute power not only didn't corrupt, it made him better. We marvel at him centuries later--this man who thought he would not be remembered, that posthumous fame was worthless--stands today more famous than ever. A hero to millions."--Dailystoic.com

They have no lessons except in tracking and catching birds, beasts, fishes, lizards, and snakes, all of which they eat. But when they grow up to be big boys and girls, they are cruelly cut about with stone knives and frightened with sham bogies all for their good' their parents say and I think they would rather go to school, if they had their choice, and take their chance of being birched and bullied
