Description

1973 The Golden 1973 Aesop's Fables Calendar. Pictures by Mel Crawford. A Golden Calendar. NY: Western Publishing Co., Inc. Gift of Barb Markuson, Glenwood, Iowa, April, '15. Extra copy in poorer condition for $6.99 from Leah Fowler, Edgewood, MD, through Ebay, March, '99.

Very lively cartoon presentations of a dozen fables with surprisingly good morals. Thus in DS we learn "The greedy man cheats himself" and in CJ "A thing is good only if it is good for you." FM is unusual in having the fox frightened by the mask because it "looked so real." The moral here is "There is nothing emptier than an empty head." After the months, we have another page of fables titled "Animal Antics." There is also an account of the story of Aesop's life.A page`of 141 little tear-along-the-perforation stickers closes out the calendar.
