Abstract

en_US A packed resource. The Fable section (414-23) seems to be built on Time for Fairy Tales (1952); its introduction finds fable the most pedantic and least appealing form of fiction for children. The characters of a fable are as impersonal as an algebraic equation. Teachers should not insist on gleaning one interpretation from any given fable. The introduction recommends LM and TMCM for children of five or six years and then three or four fables a year. The twelve fables from Aesop begin surprisingly with The Hare and Her Many Friends in a version that has hare escaping on her own at the very end. This version is from Jacobs, as are most of the Aesopic fables. Three from the Panchatantra and two from LaFontaine, one in both prose and verse. A fable bibliography is on 1005-6. Arbuthnot's Children and Books (1947/72) seems different in organization, though covering some of the same material.
