Jataka Tales: Animal Stories

Abstract

RAL withdrew this book from their general collection and asked me if it belonged in the fable collection. At first, it looks like a copy of the book of the same dimensions done in the same year. It is worth looking inside. The publisher for this copy is not Prentice-Hall but Appleton-Century-Crofts. The paper is not white but creamy in color. Some page numbers, especially at the beginning of the book, are poorly rendered. The formatting of the cover's information is different. This would seem to be the more original edition, since the book had been done earlier by Century. As I commented on the Prentice-Hall edition, this little book reproduces the earlier editions of 1912 and 1918. See my other comments on each of these editions. This edition still has, of course, the lovely silhouettes.
