Abstract

en_US This book is strange for a number of reasons. First, not so surprisingly, it has a different title on its cover, "Picture Fables," than on its title-page, "Fables for Children." Secondly, I can find no information on it on the web. Thirdly, I cannot dig up the information on where or when I found this book. Finally, either a good deal of the contents have fallen out, or it is a strangely structured book. After a title-page illustration of a mother with a child in her lap, with another child looking on and a cat catching a bug at the bottom of the picture, we have a children's book of fables including hand-colored illustrations. The illustration pages do not have printing on the verso. The first fable, FC, is not illustrated. Then come four that are illustrated: DS; WL; "The Bear and the Bees"; and LS. Strangely, after that texts disappear but there are three further illustrations: "The Horse and the Loaded Ass"; WC; and "The Dying Eagle." The fables' texts are in prose. Not in Bodemann.
