Abstract

en_US This booklet of 32 pages is exactly equivalent to one section of the larger work, Fables Illustrated by Stories from Real Life: First Series, published by Nelson in 1875. Only the page numbers are changed. Thus it includes seven stories, each with a full-page illustration by Harrison Weir. The plates were changed then for the 1883 printing of the same work. The pattern here includes a fable, moral, illustration, and then a story from real life. The last offering, The Wolf and the Horse, lacks the story from real life. See my comments on the 1875 version. Both of my copies of this little book present issues, and so I will keep both in the collection. The good copy includes several heavily crayoned illustrations, and the text has pulled away from the binding. The Leeper copy is inscribed in 1877. Its board-cover is so worn as to be hardly legible, and its spine is weakening.
