- Abstract
- en_US This is an intermediate-sized (about 5 x 7) pamphlet of 32 pages without illustration. The red canvas cover shows on its front a young man and woman sitting on a loveseat with a large book open on their laps. The texts seem to me not to be so simply told as the title proclaims. They mix poetry and prose. Often the moral is given in verse. FWT, GGE, MM, LM, FC, WSC, TMCM, FS, DS, FG, TH, UP, The Mice and the Cat (hanging by a nail), The Eagle and the Brave Mother Fox, DM, Mercury and the Woodman, and BC. The point of the last fable is that the clever young mouse who proposes the belling plan is nowhere to be seen when it comes to executing the plan. This book seems to have had many previous possessors, including the Brandon School Board, Alexandra School, and H.L. Dobson.
