Abstract
-
en_US
This is a large book with very heavy pages. It is hard to believe that a book of 156 pages can be so thick! At 119, the Fables section begins with a title page announcing Funny Fables Retold for Children by Lena Dalkeith. On 121 there is a T of C listing twenty-seven fables. My version of Dalkeith's work is listed under 1906/06? and contains forty-seven fables. These texts are faithful to those, even including the gender confusion in TH (155), where the tortoise is twice referred to as male and once as female! Each fable is given one or two pages and one simple black-and-white rectangular illustration. Perhaps the best among these is that for FG (146) with the fox holding his nose high in the air. The astrologer's well (154) is very shallow!
