- Abstract
- en_US We are making our way toward completing the set of Mrs. George Cupples' books. We now have Volumes III, V, VI, and VII of the apparent series of seven, nicely outlined in the larger "Fables Illustrated by Stories from Real Life: First Series" of 1875. This booklet of 31 pages includes seven stories, each with a large illustration by Harrison Weir. The pattern here includes a fable, moral, illustration, and then a story from real life. Only the last fable, "The Horse and the Stag," lacks a real life story. The real life story for "The Eagle and the Arrow" involves the adventures of a boy who tries to play sick because he has neglected his lessons and would receive punishment. Of course, everything goes wrong for the boy. Inscribed in 1876.
