- Abstract
- en_US A wild find nowhere near where fables might usually show up in this store. The second section of this five-part book is almost identical with the 1870 and 1873 booklets Aesop's Fables Illustrated. The only difference I can discern is that Wells has become Fowler and Wells. Even the mutilated last number in the T of C is the same here as there. The general introduction claims By the addition of the witty sayings of the sage of Lydia something of a classical flavor is imparted to the collection. I suspect that the fact that they had the plates around may have been an even greater reason! The paper and illustrations are superior here to the four copies I have of the 1870 and 1873 editions.
