Abstract

en_US Aus dem Englischen Uebersetzt mit Genehmigung der Verfasserin. Here is the German translation of Original Fables, perhaps from 1873. A check of the first and last stories indicates that this translation follows the order of the original exactly. The Profuse Illustrations of Ernest Griset, Harrison Weir, Noel Humphreys, and other eminent Artists are not here. A small-format illustrated book needing 248 pages in English needs 392 as a larger-formatted unillustrated book in German! There is an AI at the front. I will repeat some comments I made on that edition. Mrs. Prosser is not in Bodemann. My favorite private collector has one copy of Mrs. Prosser, and that is dated to 1878 and is also from the Religious Tract Society. I count two hundred twenty-one items here. I have read five or six. They remind me of the poorest in the Aesopic collections. That is, they are either belabored or transparent. I did not find among them one where I would say, as I sometimes say with Aesop's, Now there is a story worth remembering! I can find nothing in Fabula Docet, Hobbs, Quinnam, McKendry, or Snodgrass.
