Abstract: en_US Reed also did Maori Fables and Legendary Tales (1964). Here he seems to be both author and publisher. The back cover describes seven other books Reed has done. The seventy-three stories are alphabetically arranged and direct themselves overwhelmingly to etiology. Three clever tales which are not fables that may strike a contemporary reader are The Coming of Death (21), Dingo and the Native Cat (23), and The Spear with the Stingray Spines (126). The best of what I would call fables is The Turtle, the Oyster, and the Whale (133). Otherwise the closest stories to being fables are found on 26, 40, 44, 52, 90, 103, 118, and 137. The art is simple. The best art may be on 44 for The Frog and the Flies.
