- Abstract
- en_US Here is one of the newest jewels of the collection. I have looked for it for a long time, but the cost has been prohibitive and the edition very limited. I finally found a copy and said to myself that it belongs in the collection. I had found a similar book, perhaps an offshoot, in 2002. It was printed at Cambridge University Press and had Gooden's lovely initials but not his frontispiece or his plates. This copy has both Those twelve engravings are listed on 15. The engravings are naturally more impressive here than in the Knopf edition of 1992. One can notice the slight red imprint left from each engraving on its facing page. Several of the fables illustrated are among the less known, particularly A Camel Praying for Horns (160) and A Cunning Woman (170). I could look at Gooden's engaging initials for a very long time! The book is beautifully bound and covered, boxed, signed, and numbered. It is a real treasure!
