Abstract

en_US
Here is a surprise. I have a copy of this book published by Bobbs-Merrill in 1967. That copy acknowledges a 1963 copyright by Frances Alexander. This book was thus apparently privately published by Alexander and then taken over four years later by Bobbs-Merrill. As I mentioned then, this book represents an unusual find with eighteen stories. One of them is the Aesopic TB: Chi and Yi (22-23). Many are etiologies, especially of animal sounds. Several involve clever solutions (11, 14, 16, 18, and 28). The best of the stories are found on 9, 18, 19, and 23. The excellent scissor-cuts were done by grade school children in Cheefu, China, about 1920. The best of them are on 9 (mosquitoes), 13 (tiger), 18 (ice), and 22 (bear).
