Abstract

en_US According to the eBay seller, this is a very rare book. I believe him! It has the feel of a book put together by hand. It is about 7 3/8 square with rounded corners. He describes the canvas spine as new, but I would think that it also possible that it was put on by the publisher in 1942. The front cover and some pages have tears at the outside corner that have been artistically repaired. The tears do not affect the pictures. The nine pages have delightful colored illustrations that remind one of Hellé's work. The fables here include CF (also on the cover); Hercules and the Carter; OF; GGE; GA; FS; and TMCM. Between GGE and GA there is a fable and picture of a man happily watering flowers. GGE might be the most representative of the lovely pictures. I ordered this book, traveled to the Bay Area, and then wondered as I saw it still advertised on eBay. I am glad that I found it here when I returned home!
