Abstract
This is a highly colorful die-cut pamphlet about 3⅜" x 6", the sixth of a group of seven more Nilsson pamphlets to be added to our singleton acquisition of four years ago. We seem to have four to go to complete the collection! Its two outside covers are left and right images of the kingly lion meeting the pilgrim rat. There are again three two-color illustrations inside this one-staple pamphlet of some 12 pages. The centerfold is another lovely piece of art work. It has the rat beginning to gnaw at the lion's restraining net. The first image shows the rat confronted by the lion. The last, underscored by the moral, has the lion standing tall over the peaceful pilgrim rat. This pamphlet again offers a prose expansion of La Fontaine's fable. On the last page, one finds La Fontaine's verse text. Lovely work!
