- Abstract
- en_US Though some stories here overlap in telling and illustration with those in Whitman's Favorite Stories (1947), illustrated by Francis Kirn, neither of the two Aesop's fables here overlaps. The Man Who Tried to Please (40) is well told, with good variations and repetitions. TMCM (58) is differently told in several ways. The country mouse took food dropped by the cook and gathered it in the attic. The city mouse objected because these crumbs were dried-out leftovers. In the city, he urged the country mouse from the beginning to grab food and to bring it into his hole. The maid first interrupted their eating. When they emerged from the hole, the cat attacked, and both scampered back to the hole. When the cat finally left off guarding the hole, the country mouse went home and lived happily ever after. One or two simple designs for each fable.
