Abstract

TC at the beginning. Oblong (landscape) format, 11½ x 8. Twenty-four fables, presented in verse by Hain, with a simple full page of illustration for each in vivid color. The milkmaid here drops a basket of eggs. Among the best illustrations is DLS. The Conceited Stag is presented as conceited both in text and picture. Typical and lovely is the illustration for The Monkey and Cats. Beautiful gilt cover, including four medallions depicting fables in the corners. The pages have separated from the binding. I am surprised that I had not seen either this book before or references to it. I am very happy to have found a copy of it!
