- Abstract
- en_US This book has the same thirty-three stories as the 1883 version. See my comments there. The T of C here does not number the stories as it does there. The same three stories here lack a modern parallel: The Monkey and the Cats, The Wolf and the Horse, and TMCM. The same illustrations are used for the fables, but there is a different frontispiece of FG. The book has a smaller format (4½ x 6½) and small margins. I see evidence in retrospect of minor editing in the 1883 edition. Check, e.g., the moral for The Lion, the Bear, and the Fox on 55. The book's fables finish on 165, and then there is a page of advertisements. The pattern here includes a fable, moral, illustration, and story, but their divisions are not marked. This book's green cloth cover features an embossed gilt image of The Fox and the Mask.
