Abstract

en_US Six fables in a large-format book whose spine has suffered in all three of my copies. Black-and-white smaller illustrations are combined with a few full-colored full-page illustrations. T of C at the beginning; the Poulsbo copy is missing one endpaper at each end, and its pages are separated from the covers. The State Fair copy was originally sold by Schuster's Book Shop in Milwaukee, the store in which my father worked for years! Fables here include: The Dog and the Rooster (48), TH (53), The Monkey and the Crocodile by Ellen Babbitt (115), TMCM (124, with nice colored illustrations), BC (126), and MSA (139). TMCM has the cat, the cook, and the dogs all invade together. MSA has a nice refain: Why, I had not thought of that! Occasional stars are pasted into the Schuster copy. There is some crayoning in the Poulsbo copy. See Nursery Tales (1948/57) for an unusual approach to re-editing.
