Abstract
Here are twenty-eight original fables giving lessons to make children dutiful. Thus the first fable's wandering chick learns, by narrow escapes from danger, to obey his mother. Later on, overhearing a conversation between gnats and a moth should stop children from being irritable and cross and especially--heaven forbid!--gaining a character for being disagreeable (108). The fables are heavy-handed. This book is unusual in including four colored illustrations: frontispiece, 16, 69, and 105. There are ten pages of advertising at the back, including the advertisement for Cassell's Eighteenpenny Series, to which this little book belongs. The spine is cracked and separating.
