Abstract
I had earlier catalogued a 1971 facsimile of the 1923 printing of this book. Now I find the (original) edition--and perhaps even printing--of 1909. This reader includes The Arab and His Camel (1); The Bat, the Birds, and the Beasts (8); DLS (43, illustrated); BC (44); The Price of a Song (53, La Fontaine's The Cobbler and the Financier, acknowledged as by La Fontaine); The Blind Men and the Elephant (56, illustrated) by John Godfrey Saxe; The Hare with Many Friends (58), presented as from Aesop rather than Gay; FS (61); TT (62, illustrated); The Rabbit's Trick (68, including a duel actually waged by whale and elephant); GA (77, in a verse rendition by an unknown author); AL (94, illustrated, described as A Roman Tale); and The Tiger, the Brahman, and the Jackal (128, illustrated), well told by Flora Anne Steel. The illustrations are black-and-white and are signed by C.W. Jefferys. There is a T of C at the book's front. Note God Save the King facing 1; there also several scriptural passages and stories here. The book is in very good condition. I found it one shelf away from the place where I was directed to find fable books.
