The first large collection of Armenian folk fables was compiled and recast by folklore specialist Artashes Nazinyan. This collection by Armen Sargsyan is basically the continuation of Nazinyan's work. The author has compiled the collection from various literary sources published in Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora during the 19th and 20th centuries. The major part of the material was selected from folklore and ethnographic collections, while the other part was selected from the fable section of dialect studies. Some parts were also selected from books about place-names, as well as from private collections. The book is aimed at people studying Western Armenian, and especially the pupils of Armenian schools in the Diaspora.
The collection includes the following types of fables:
a) Classical allegorical fables; the characters of such fables are mostly animals.
b) Short folk tales
c) Fairy-tale fables
d) Satiric fables and tales
e) Fables with dialogues and proverbs
