Abstract
Here are 82 fables on 120 pages in a paperback book 4¾" x 6⅞". The black-and-white line drawings are simple; they accompany perhaps 20% of the fables. One first notices the slender margins in this book. The book is characterized and marred by its inconsistencies and its English. Nouns in titles after the first word, for example, are regularly not capitalized, but sometimes they are. There is the story (11) of the mouse who entered a grain basket but could not afterward get out. Does this moral make sense: "Do not eat more than what you can digest"? The next fable, FG, has this moral with questionable English: "For our incapability, we should not find out mistakes in others." On 14, one finds "nouse" for "no use." Somehow an image for FC occurs in the midst of the text of "Hare and the hound" (18). One has to rejoice that good stories are getting into the hands of children in India and elsewhere.
