Abstract: en_US Twenty-one fables in a pleasant little book 5½ x 7½. In TT, the tortoise opens his mouth to confirm the ducks' statement that she is the queen of tortoises. Three fables here are new to me. In The Bee and the Spider, the two insects argue about their artistry; the bee gets the last word by showing that its art of making honey and wax is useful. In A Gnat and a Bee, the bee turns down the gnat's offer to teach music to the bee family, noting especially that her music has done her no good. In The Fox and the Bramble, the fox puts up with the bramble because it keeps off the dogs. There are several two-page spreads inserted along the way that seem not to relate to particular fables. Very good condition.
