Abstract

en_US This book represents a great find on a lightning shopping visit over the lunch break of a Jesuit meeting. The book is in terrible condition, with virtually no spine left at all and all the pages loose. This curious book can best be understood as a combination of material found in my 1885? Lupton Fairy Land Tales Told Long Ago and my 1884 Lothrop Selections from Aesop's Fables. Part of the book's strangeness is that Jack and Jill (found in Lupton) is the only non-fable in the whole book! I am very lucky to have found the book! After that story comes first a full page illustration of a fable not presented here ( In the Cat's Court of Appeals ) signed by M. Stephens (?). Then come five presentations of Aesopic fables in verse by Clara Doty Bates, all found in Lothrop. The first and last are illustrated by Edmund H. Garrett, while Childe Hassam did TMCM. TMCM adds one page (the second) out of the two pages of panels added to TMCM in Lupton, with the numbers of the panels (7-12) now removed. I will leave it to the reader to judge how much sense these six pictures make as they appear suddenly on their own--probably as much sense as a picture of a cat judge ready to eat both litigants (a bunny and a weasel) next to a fable about how a monkey cheats two cat litigants. Pick up a rock and you will find something underneath it!
