Abstract

en_US This edition takes fable material directly from the 1962 edition of Once Upon a Time: Volume 2 of Collier's Junior Classics Series and reproduces it unaltered. Thus we have eight fables edited by Joseph Jacobs with Irwin Greenberg's unimpressive black-and-white illustrations. They are followed by five Jataka Tales, retold by Ellen C. Babbitt. These are illustrated, in one or two colors, by Robert Reed Macguire. The rest of the volume presents folktales in a different format from the predecessor series. The folktales there were arranged by region and era. Here there is no organization. Many from the former volume have dropped, and there are about seven new folktales. Pages marking the book's divisions have either been dropped or have lost their titles. Thus the page before Aesop's Fables retains the same design of two mice but now has no words. And the book now moves from the Jataka Tales (26) to the folktales (27) without a page to mark the transition.
