Quotes
The lanes were meant for everlasting hope, and since I've got such respect for the made-up, the invented, the seriously confected, why not celebrate God as totem of the great fabular instinct? Why not indeed.
-- Andrew O'Hagan, The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe, 2010
Origin
Fabular entered English in the 1670s from the Latin word fābulāris, which shares a root with the contemporary English word fable.
