Everyone knows the value of the simile to give vividness and color to his style of expression. Yet no use of ornamentation in the written or spoken language is subject to such dangers and abuses as the simile. In this book the author tells you how to use the simile, the form and kind to use, and when to avoid it through risk of artificiality and the danger of becoming trite and obvious. He tells you, also, how many of the world's keenest minds have employed the simile successfully, and under the three headings: PROSE, POETRY and BIBLE he gives thousands of the choicest similes in all English literature.

The Pardoner tells a story of death. And the Wife of Bath tells the story of her five husbands and her fight to control the men in her life. But The Tales ends with the story of the perfect marriage and how, if we are enerous to one another, we can find the perfect society.

With graceful art and simple stories that are filled with love and enlightenment, Jon Muth -- and Stillwater the bear -- present three ancient Zen tales that are sure to strike a chord in everyone they touch.
