Abstract

en_US We have this book in many forms, including some from Dover. What is new about this edition is the link to an mp3 download of some 43 fables. Otherwise Dover acknowledges it as a reprint of its 2008 edition, also in our collection. Though mention of this as "Green Edition" seems to have disappeared, the book still belongs to the "Dover Pictorial Archive Series." Its Amazon price is up to $14.99. With the advent of the mp3 link, the attached CD has disappeared. So this is another fine reprint of the classic "The Aesop for Children" published in 1919 by Rand McNally. It does a fine job of reproducing the exquisite Milo Winter illustrations. It reproduces the 112 pages of the original faithfully. All the illustrations are colored. As I mention in commenting on the original version, these stories have a steady eye on correct children's behavior. The stories' actions are carefully motivated, sometimes even over-motivated. In fact, the stories have a tendency to overkill. There are good statements from the characters, made to themselves when talk with others would be inappropriate. There are some double morals. I picked up this copy for the collection when I found out that all five duplicates in the collection have been lent out to people!
