Abstract

en_US
This is a lovely, gentle, little book. It has a section on fables on 9-13, but in truth two of its five selections there are not fables. There are good tellings and depictions (two perhaps from old chapbooks and one from Bewick) of The Stag and the Vine, The Crane and the Geese, and The Sheep and the Bramble. The latter is new to me. A sheep wandered into a thicket to find shelter from a storm. When he wanted to leave, a bramble had such a hold on his fleece that he had to give it up to get free. Sure enough, it is on 229 of Select Fables (1820/1975). It is quoted here verbatim from Bewick. Since the two copies may come from different vintages--though they are both marked 1946--I will keep both in the collection.
