- Abstract
- en_US This is one of the larger books in the collection, 8½ x 10½ x 1½. Of the forty-one stories here, only two are, despite the title, fables. The Tailor and the Bear on 221 has a clever tailor using fable-like means to overcome the bear and so to marry the princess. Johnnie Jones (250) is an updating of BW, in which Johnnie's mother eventually reads him the story of BW and explains to him that he has been such a cry-baby that people naturally did not think that he was hurt this time either. Most of the stories here are fairy tales heavy on magic. There is a fine colored picture of a dressed frog and a dressed mouse facing 60, but I can find no story that bears any relation to this picture!
