- Abstract
- en_US Of the 1139 pages in this massive book, two are given to fables: 48-9. Curiously, the two pages are formatted differently, and the fables on the right all have italicized morals. I had not seen “Horns” before: a city boy on the farm for the first time thinks that mooing cows are blowing their horns. This compendium of knowledge includes references to La Fontaine and Ade’s Fables in Slang as well as Lowell’s A Fable for Critics. This book shows what fables people might have thought of first early in the century (the first copyright is 1911) and also what place in life they might give them. Note that the fables are placed just after the fairy tales in the “Kindergarten” section of the book. There is a simple illustration of FC.
