Abstract

en_US
The covers of this typical early twentieth-century British children's fable book are pictorial boards, and both are well done. On the front, the fox runs from the well where, presumably, he has left the wolf; on the back, the fox is on tiptoes trying to reach the grapes. The colored frontispiece of WC is by Ethel Tanner; it is becoming detached from the block. There are black-and-white illustrations on the right-hand pages at regular four-page intervals, ranging from partial to full-page. Most are signed S, but there seems to be no other indication of who that person might be. Several of these illustrations are unusually well done. Notice in particular FG, CJ, The Stag in the Oxstall, DS, The Fox and the Mask, and The Wolf and the Sheep. That last story is also well told. There are no page numbers, T of C or AI. The title-fable appears first and helps, with its illustration, to make sense of the front cover's picture. I would rate this fragile book as a very lucky find!
