Abstract: en_US Thirty-one pages containing twenty-two traditional prose fables and primitive illustrations. My guess is that Ms. Gibbons gathered into this pamphlet the art work of the eleven students listed on the title page. I love finding items like this to bring into the collection! The very first fable, The Two Foxes, is a rather rare story told by Dodsley (2.40). In fact, the version here may be a simplified version of Dodsley's text. The second fable seems to borrow from James with its final phrase stuffed with straw. The cover illustration, taken from 15, gives a sense of the methods the young artist uses to differentiate the several mice. One of the two staples has lost its grip. The Dog and the Goose (20) and The Hen and the Horses (22) are new to me. The text includes disapper (11) and starring eyes (26). There is a T of C at the beginning.
