Fables, Tome 2: La ferme des animaux

The blend of familiar stories with contemporary issues is so seamless. I wonder what inspired the choice to reimagine these characters this way.

The backstories add so much depth, but I kept wondering if that was planned from the beginning or developed during writing.

The Animal Farm theme was both clever and thought-provoking. I’m curious whether this theme was always central or evolved as the story progressed.
