Fabular \ [fab-yuh-ler]
adjective
1. of or relating to a story, novel, or the like written in the form of a fable.
Quote
The result is a much more streamlined fiction than any of the other mature work, more closely resembling the fabular Christmas books, which Dickens had recently read aloud to a working class audience in Birmingham.
Suzanne Keen, Victorian Renovations of the Novel 1998
Origin
Fabular entered English in the 1670's from the Latin word fābulāris, which
shares a root with the contemporary English word fable.
