Abstract

en_US This book is apparently a direct descendant of Tuck's 1914 Aesop's Fables by the same editor and illustrator. See my comments there. It has a slightly smaller format, 155 instead of 163 fables, and 106 pages instead of 140. The texts are single rather than double-spaced. The illustrations that remain are the same size, but have smaller margins. This edition has WC on its cover, where that had TH. This edition has DM as its frontispiece, but that has DS. The paper for both text and illustration seems different. Vredenburg has become Captain Vredenburg. And the book is now included in a series advertised at the end as being uniform with this volume. My suspicion is that during or just after the war, circumstances occasioned a simpler and less expensive volume. Thus I have guessed at 1918 as the date. It still has an AI at the back.
