Abstract

en_US Twenty-four fables, sometimes overly simple, but with good morals. The moral, for example, of Two Squirrels is Idle folk have to work the hardest in the end. For The Cat and the Puppy it is Every wall has two sides. For The Quarrelsome Stags we read We can never foresee the end of a quarrel. Twenty-four bold, dramatic colored illustrations, including the cover and frontispiece. Except for that on the cover, they are tipped in on heavy dark paper. The best of them may be for The Shark and the Mackerel facing 46. There are also some black-and-white designs near the beginning. The illustration page for The Dog, the Fish, and the Swallow is loose. The endpapers have a fox and a hare talking to each other on the telephone! There is some clever defacing of the cover illustration, and some pencilling of the back endpapers.
