Abstract

en_US This book seems to have been compiled from five earlier books. In particular, six of the seven fables presented here were presented by Offen and Yeatman in A Treasury of Animal Stories (1982). Many of the black-and-white illustrations there are colored in this version; some (124-5 and 283) have been reversed. Only TH (60) among the fables here seems not to have come from that book. The texts are almost identical, but there is evidence of editing. This copy has the curious feature of some blank pages (97, 100-1, 104-5, 108-9, 112). The fables included are The Little Jackal (77), TMCM (123), The Rats' Daughter (202), The Great Flood (283, identified as Traditional Bible and Fable), The Dragon and the Monkey (301), and Anansi and Common Sense (307). (My one other book by Offen, Bedtime Tales with Linda Jennings [1989], seems to have no relation to this book).
