Abstract

en_US I had found the first book in this series -- a series of only two? -- 23 years ago for £57 less than this little treasure! At the end of cataloguing that earlier pamphlet, I wondered about further members in the series. In between, I had never run into the series again. So I sighed but dug deep into our wallet this time! "If you have not seen it before, you are unlikely to see it again. So get it now!" Like its partner, this is a curious little landscape pamphlet with paper wraps and twelve very thin interior pages. On both covers are identical strong presentations of CP. After the inside front cover again introduces us to Aesop's fables (with no apostrophe in the first of these two words), we find one page given to FG and then two pages each to DM; TH; FS; BW; CP; and FWT. The texts are again succinct. The good moral for FS is "The joker sometimes suffers from his own jokes." The illustrations look like monochrome redoings of Rountree's more ambitious colored book pictures. Again, I wonder if this pamphlet might have been a promotional premium, found inside a breakfast cereal.
