Abstract

en_US Here is Volume 4 of a four-volume set, also collected into one volume. Twenty-five fables appear, along with their illustrations. These are enlarged from Gallaher's cigarette cards published in 1912 and 1922. What a clever way to avoid paying an artist! Gallaher had included a title and Gallaher's Cigarettes on each card, and these are nicely removed here. The fables included here are the last quarter of the collection of a hundred in alphabetical order. As in the other volumes, an introduction botches the subject of fable, I would say, by taking fable as an animal story. It is no surprise then that it goes on to provide a short history more of animal stories than of fables. Similarly, Further Readings (60) are really about animal literature, not fable literature. The various literatures mentioned in the introduction are not represented in the collection, which is controlled by the hundred cards produced by Gallaher. As in the other volumes, there is an index at the end. The enlargement of the cards' illustration to perhaps four times their original size has a curious effect, perhaps similar to the effect created by Roy Lichtenstein's art. As in the other volumes, an initial is created from the card for each of the stories.
