''Fabulous Histories'' (later known as ''The Story of the Robins''), is the best-known work of Sarah Trimmer. Originally published in 1786, it remained in print until the beginning of the twentieth century.〔Grenby, "Introduction", viii; Wills, DLB, 344.〕 ==Plot== ''Fabulous Histories'' tells the story of two families—one robin and one human—who learn to live together congenially. Most importantly, the children and the baby robins learn to adopt virtue and to shun vice. For Trimmer, practicing kindness to animals as a child would hopefully lead one to "universal benevolence" as an adult. According to Samuel Pickering, Jr., a scholar of eighteenth-century children's literature, “in its depiction of eighteenth-century attitudes toward animals, Mrs. Trimmer’s ''Fabulous Histories'' was the most representative children’s book of the period."〔Pickering, 29.〕
