Abstract
-
en_US
For four years I have been missing one of the four volumes in this set. Now I have found it! As in the other volumes, twenty-five fables appear, along with their illustrations. These are enlarged from Gallaher's cigarette cards published in 1912 and 1922. What a clever way to avoid paying an artist! Gallaher had included a title and Gallaher's Cigarettes on each card, and these are nicely removed here. The fables included here are the third segment of the collection of a hundred in alphabetical order. An introduction botches the subject of fable, I would say, by taking fable as an animal story. It is no surprise then that it goes on to provide a short history more of animal stories than of fables. Similarly, Further Readings (60) are really about animal literature, not fable literature. The various literatures mentioned in the introduction are not represented in the collection, which is controlled by the hundred cards produced by Gallaher. The book was formerly in the public library in Euclid, OH. The presentation of each fable makes a portion of the original card into background for an initial. For a sample illustration, one might want to follow the publisher's choice and view The Miser on 25. A detail of this illustration is on the cover of the book.
