Title: Set of four Hadley “Aesop’s Fables” Table Placemats
Description: 2014 Set of four Hadley “Aesop’s Fables” Table Placemats. Boxed. 15.5” x 11.6”. Wood and cork. Source unknown.

This set is one of the heaviest items in the collection! These substantial placemats picture TH; FG with a smaller tortoise and hare; “The Wise Owl and the Little Birds”; and “Two Fish.” The third of these has the owl warning other birds successively about the dangerous trees that men are growing. The other birds do not heed his wise advice and pay the price for that, while he removes himself from their company. I do not know which fable that placemat of the two fish refers to. There is also a circular set of Hadley placemats. Now to find those!
