Abstract

en_US This book happens to offer some insight into publishing history. It is, in most aspects, intermediate between two other versions. One gives only 1941 as its copyright date. I take that to be the earliest. It has a colored cover. It alternates two pages of colored pictures facing each other with two pages of black-and-white illustrations facing each other. As I mentioned in my description of it, it offers a typical Platt and Munk handling of FS, The Fox and the Goat, and BW. Excellent colored pictures, especially of FS. BW gets four pages and four pictures (two colored) and a talking-to from the mayor. I got it twenty-three years ago at Brattle Books in Boston. This book has a plain blue cloth cover with a line drawing of the colored scene on the first cover. It also alternates colored and black-and-white illustrations, as did the first copy. It adds mention of an earlier copyright in 1938 besides the 1941 copyright. It has a tear in the Hansel and Gretel story. A third version of the book has a similar blue cloth cover. It adds a copyright of 1955. It colors all the illustrations, but they may not be as appealing to the eye as the fewer colored illustrations in the first two versions. I got this book at Time Traveller in Milwaukee twenty-seven years ago.
