Abstract

en_US This is at least the fourth nearly-identical copy of this book that I have found, and probably the best and most original. The other copies are a cheaper 1964 printing by Random House, an edition by the Weekly Reader Childrens Book Club, and an edition by the state of California. This copy alone has a dust-jacket. Unlike the cheaper Random House copy and the California copy, this copy does not reprint illustrations of FC before the beginning endpapers and MM after the closing endpapers. As I wrote back when I first met this book, the tellings seem standard to me. I like the twenty or so illustrations in two colors, done by a simple and even primitive method. The best among them are of the milkmaid and the chickens and of the fox and the goat. The front cover has an embossed smiling sun at its center.
