Abstract

en_US The material in this "throwback" book is taken from thirty-one readers published between 1842 and 1892. While several other items resemble fables, the two clearest fables here are ""Androcles and the Lion" (66) and "The Wind and the Sun" (141). "The Philosopher and the Boatman" (32) is actually a fable, and a good one at that, as is the verse story "The Goat and the Swing" with pictures on 93-95. The word "Androcles" is misspelled as "Androcle" in the T of C, which, by the way, is printed in a difficult typeface. "Androcles" is from "Appleton's Introductory Fourth Reader" in 1889. The story is set in Carthage, and it is the governor of the city that pardons Androcles and gives him the lion. The story features a black-and-white image of the lion cowering before Androcles in the arena. WS is well told, with a good image. It comes from the "Newell and Crerry Fourth Reader" in 1868. 206 pages.
