- Abstract
- en_US Here is a traditional Japanese book, with the now very delicate paper that Shoji tells me was regular for publishing in Japan soon after World War II. Sixty-five fables on some 352 pages. There are a some images, all occupying a full page and many very faint. I recognize two groups, one from Harrison Weir and the other from a simpler, apparently Western hand. I find illustrations on 6, 20, 39, 48, 53, 72, 95, 105, 143, 177, 185, 192, 200, 228, 242, 268, and 304. The North Wind and the Sun are pictured in color on the Japanese front-cover. The covers have a rubbery quality. This book has already lasted fifty years-not bad for something that cost about sixty cents!
