Abstract

en_US This is the kind of booklet for which this collection was made! 4 x 6½. The thirteen verse fables first appeared in the Merthyr Express in Wales. The morals tend to berate modern machines and moneyed interests. The turns of phrase are sometimes colloquial and specific to the context, as in these lines from The Old Lady and her Maids: /Said parlour-maid to tweenie:/She thinks she's Mussolini;/Those who mock/Get a shock;/Let's go out and kill the cock!/I would guess that not many copies of this lovely little pamphlet were made. The same author wrote Thirteen Sonnets and Thirteen Epigrams.
