Abstract

en_US
Here are seven fables set to music: OF, LM, MM, TH, FC, The Two Crabs, and GA. The format is large, as is frequent with music for piano playing: 9¼ x 12¼. The whole pamphlet is 28 pages long. There is a prologue (or epilogue): These tales were old when Aesop lived. He told them all anew -- But morals good for people then -- Are just as good for you! There is a moral under each fable title. OF interrupts its singing at the very end. But then he burst is spoken rather than sung (4). MM closes with 'Ah my child!' said her mother (11). I do not think I have seen that element before. The hare lies down to take a nap to show his contempt for the tortoise (14). This is not the way the story is always told. The crow in FC is female. GA closes laconically: When winter came the Ant had food, But the Grasshopper found himself dying (25). The front cover is separated. There are some pencil and red marks along the way. Harrison Weir's illustration of LM is on the cover and title-page, but that is the only illustration. Signed on the top of the cover by Jesse K. Bailey, Jr.
