Abstract

en_US This fragile book contains seven chromolithographic plates and a woodcut tail piece. 30 pages, unpaginated. Inscribed in 1896. The text block is coming loose but still holds. The first fable is MSA, told this time as a trip to take some wheat back to the farmer who had sent it. It concludes with the son telling the father that they had better pay no attention to the silly remarks of strangers. Other fables include FC, The Cormorant and the Fish (and the serpent)The Fox and the Goat, OF, The Tomtit and the Wagtail, The Hare and the Frogs, The Cat and the Two Canaries, and DS. In OF, the frog grew bigger till he was nearly as big as a Bull. Surprise! In The Fox and the Goat, the fox once out of the well said that he could give the goat only advice, and his advice is that the goat be patient. The Hare and the Frogs is a new version to me of TH. Perhaps the best of the illustrations shows The Fox and the Goat. There are no other stories than these fables; the title can thus be misleading. The publishers describe themselves on the title-page as Publishers and Christmas Card Manufacturers. The lithographer is Emrik & Bingen, Haarlem.
