Abstract

en_US Now here is a surprise. I have had Morel and Fujikawa's Fairy Tales (1970) for some time, had seen this book many times (I think), and had presumed that I had it. Live and learn! Morel does an excellent job of telling the fourteen fables that are here, including the morals as a final statement within the story. The bull makes an apt final comment about the gnat, for example: It takes a small mind to be so conceited (25). CP ends with Where there's a will, there's always a way (53). MSA (92) has several unusual features: baskets of produce figure in the story; all the principals fall into the water; the produce is lost; the donkey swims away. SW (49) follows the poorer version. My favorite illustration is still of the cat pulling down the tablecloth (24). Here is a great wildcard inclusion: The Dragon and the Monkey (40), the old I left my heart at home story. Only the earliest printing identifies the publisher on the title page as A National General Company. Because of their differences, I will keep all three printings in the collection.
