Abstract

en_US There are probably many things to learn about the background of this particular printing. Compare the book with my Doubleday, Page, and Company edition of the same year and with the Doubleday printing I have listed under 1911/28. This book is like the 1911 edition in size and in the almost identical series titles (here Children's Crimson Series, there Children's Crimson Classics). This printing is closer in its art to the 1911/28 book. It drops the same illustrations, does not color any of the engravings, does not list Nelson's name except in the illustrations themselves, and gives no list of illustrations. A painting of The Squirrel and the Horse is on both the dust jacket and the frontispiece; it seems to be modeled on the engraving facing 340 in the Doubleday 1911 edition. I strongly suspect that this Grosset printing came in fact some years after 1911. See my comments about the fables and illustrations under the other two printings.
