Abstract
This nicely produced book has several unusual features. First, it has two identical dust-jackets! I do not think I have run into that before. Secondly, it uses verse translations of the fables from an author who first published his versions of Aesop's fables in the book of the same title that we have from 1941. Thirdly, the top, bottom, and right-hand margins are ruled on every page. Fourthly, the fables are decorated with strong designs that may well be woodcuts. In any event, they are bold. These full-page designs occur about every four pages. Fifthly, the fables' titles are given in red ink. Finally, the T of C on 62 is arranged in two columns that are squared at the center, so that both edges are uneven. Two of the strongest illustrations are FG (19) and "The Fox and the Acorns" (47 and front cover of the dust-jacket).
