Як звірі правувалися з людьми - завершальна казка всесвітньовідомої збірки казок, створеної Іваном Франком. Цикл казок для дітей, об'єднаний спільною назвою "Коли ще звіри говорили", містить двадцять творів. Дев'ятнадцять з них вперше надруковані протягом 1896 – 1898 рр. у дитячому журналі "Дзвінок". 1903 р. було здійснене нове видання збірки, в якому з'явилась остання казка циклу - казкою – Як звірі правувалися з людьми. У казках Івана Яковича Франка в образах тварин втілено людські вади та недоліки: жадібність, невдячність, жорстокість і нечемність, хитрощі і лінощі. У казках тварини з цими рисами характеру завжди покарані.

Більшість творів, написаних Франком для дітей, становлять казки. Письменник часто використовував у них сюжети, взяті з народної творчості різних країн світу. Франка особливо цікавила в казках їх моральна спрямованість, ідейний зміст, співзвучність з тими проблемами й справами, якими жило тоді суспільство. Використані Франком сюжети набирали глибоко актуального значення, відзначалися яскравим національним колоритом, набували виразної виховної спрямованості. Франко надавав казковому жанру особливого значення у вихованні дитини.
