Abstract

en_US There are two fables here, both well told and illustrated. In FM (39) Spry Mouse dances for Mr. Frog, who plays the banjo and sings. She also serves him tea and fresh flies. He then invites her to his home and, when she expresses reservations, offers to tie her foot to his with a blade of grass. By the time he pulls her down in the water, he is Naughty Mr. Frog. Surprisingly, a hawk flying over the pond and seeing frog and mouse together, thinks I must catch Mr. Frog for dinner. Miss Mouse pulls hard enough to break the grass and tumbles safe to the ground. There are four three-color illustrations. Perhaps the last picture of her, a bit beaten and bedraggled, is the best (44). Mayor Rat's Niece (52) has five three-colored illustrations. The mayor is upset over Mr. Gray Fur's intent to marry his niece. He goes successively to the sun, the clouds, the wind, and the wall, only to find out that Mr. Gray Fur is stronger than the wall. Mayor Rat is not happy to give up his niece to him, but he can do nothing about it. Many of the illustrations are signed Maginel Wright Enwright. This book is in excellent condition.
