- Abstract
- en_US I took a chance on this little book partly because of its low price. It turns out to be a different edition of a book already in the collection. Still, it shows many differences. Some future scholar will enjoy establishing which of these two was earlier! What is different? This edition has no dust-jacket, and its cover is orange cloth, not green, though it is still embossed with "KR." This copy adds an introduction by Soter Istvan on I-VIII. It also adds a person responsible for printing the book. The typesetting of the title-pages is different, including the recognition of the introduction. The books offered on the last page's advertisement are fewer, and none of the future offerings is specified. As I wrote then, this little hardbound book contains twenty fables in French and Hungarian, as is clear in the T of C on 70/71. 1943 in Budapest would have been a fascinating and difficult time. One can almost picture a circle of literary people getting together to talk fables while world-sweeping events were going on around them.
