Abstract
A lovely little volume containing sixty fables, all but one (the first: GA) with a very engaging black-and-white silhouette. Some of my favorite little silhouettes include the cover/frontispiece illustration of Aesop speaking to a group, Death and the Woodman (12), LM (28), AD (30), FK (46), GGE (70), and The Rat and the Elephant (104). I first found this book at my favorite Bücherwurm in Heidelberg in 1998. Now Ulrike has brought me her father's signed, stamped, dated (1926) copy. My earlier guess for the book's date was 1935. I have changed that to 1925? and will make a separate listing for the other copy with a darker cover differently executed.
