 Homer's "Odyssey" too makes use of this device; Odysseus' adventures at sea are all narrated by Odysseus to the court of king Alcinous in Scheria.Other shorter tales, many of them false, account for much of the "Odyssey".Many modern children's story collections are essentially anthology works connected by this device, such as Arnold Lobel's "Mouse Tales", Paula Fox's "The Little Swineherd", and Phillip and Hillary Sherlock's "Ears and Tails and Common Sense".
