Abstract

en_US FG, FS, and WL, each done with wit. The fox knows that grapes so high would be impoverished. The fox waits for the second course, which is stork, stuffed with olives. The moral is True hospitality obliges the host to sacrifice himself for his guests ! The wolf, proven wrong twice, pleads insanity and devours the lamb. Kozlay's essay traces some of the fascinating history of mutual charges of theft by Harte and G.T. Lanigan, author of Out of the World. In fact, none of Harte's fables is in my 1878 Out of the World but all three are in my Fables by G. Washington Aesop from 1878/1925? (10, 40, and 48), where they are duly attributed to Harte. There is even another WL falsely attributed to Harte on 28 of the same little volume! Kozlay includes a delightful letter on a plagiarist's reworking of his own work by Mark Twain. Typos include forgotton (FS), hospitatity (FS), and lucious (Kozlay). This pamphlet is one of those rare little treasures one finds sometimes on a cloudy day.
