Abstract

en_US "Here is the third printing I have of this book. I have placed the printings of the others in 1922 and 1925. Other than the date of printing that they bear, I believe that they are identical. The particular pride of this book is the orange-brown-and-black Pogany illustrations. The book presents eighteen fables in three early groups. The source for at least TMCM seems to be Joseph Jacobs. Among these, several are particularly well illustrated, including FG (19), TH (22), MM (35), and TMCM (43). Perhaps half of the fables are illustrated. The ox mutters a good moral to DM: "Ah, people often grudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves" (18). WS (24) is told in the poorer version. This version of LS (27) gives the lion unusual partners: a fox, jackal, and a wolf. The last comment to the miller in MLS (30) is well done here: "Why, you two are better able to carry the poor beast than he is to carry you." The book was marked out to two young readers, in February and March. But in what year?."
