Abstract

en_US This copy of Stickney's book is a duplicate of the 1904 Ginn edition, with three exceptions that I can find. First, Ginn is located now in Boston, New York, Chicago, and London. Secondly, this copy is not dated. Thirdly, the printing acknowledgement mentions The Atheneum Press and not J.S. Cushing. I will repeat some of my comments on that 1904 edition. It in its turn seems to be an exact reprinting of the 1891 version, of which I have a copy. As I mention there, various people worked on the text, and the illustrations seem to be from Doré, Weir, and a certain F. Myrick (?). The body of the work contains 125 fables. A supplement brings fourteen verse fables from La Fontaine and eleven prose Russian Fables of Krilof. Several fables in the supplement repeat in their own way the stories that were presented in the body of the work. Thus FG occurs on 15 and again on 147. Almost every page lists several words at the top with helps for pronouncing them. This copy is in poor condition. It once belonged to Ben Parnell in Baton Rouge, LA.
