- Abstract
- en_US This little 102-page pamphlet picks up from Part I (see my comments there) and mixes together twenty-nine fables and eight folk stories, often in several phases. Though the dates of the two parts are the same, the cover format here is slightly different; for example, December, 1890 is listed on the cover. Well told: The Lark and her Young Ones (121). Again there are some differences from the traditional versions. In The Cat, the Weasel, and the Young Rabbit (170), the cat not only eats both litigants, but he also takes the house they fought over. The elder frogs ask for a king; Jupiter sends a log, a stupid eel, and then a stork (186). T of C on iii-iv. Three pages of advertisements at the end include one touting this edition as sound, sensible, economical, practical, interesting, and inspiring for grades I-III. The covers are loose.
