Abstract

en_US It took twelve years, but this purchase solves a mystery. I had found a copy of this book in 1999 and saw it as a coloring book. What it has to do with a hankie neither the seller nor I can figure out, I wrote then, adding that it measures slightly larger than 10 x 11 and has seven pages of black-and-white outlines to color in. They were in fact colored in by some youthful hands. Now I find a copy whose spine has given way but whose pictures are uncolored. But this copy contains six of the (probably) eight original handkerchiefs pinned into the booklet! Those missing are Don Dog and Waffles and Countess. Neither copy seems to have a first coloring-page for Mike, one of the handkerchiefs here. As the seller noted, the hankies are in great condition and have no distinguishing damage other than some slight color variation/facing and/or creasing due to age. In fact, the handkerchiefs present a fine color version of the coloring book design I admired in that copy. As I mentioned then, the booklet fits with the Aesop's Fables pins I have found and with versions of the cartoons associated with this Van Beuren series. See Clothing and Accessories under artifacts for images of the handkerchiefs.
