Abstract
See the nearly identical edition of 1927. Here the cover has a picture, but the endpapers have lost most of their colors. The fables of Aesop are on 364-88. Some curious tellings: the monkey seizes the cat's paws and makes her grab hot nuts, and the moral of FG is Disappointment may be lightened by philosophy, even if the latter is wrong. A curious melange of illustrations: four good colored illustrations (particularly good in this edition) to a page by Bess Bruce Cleveland in addition to the black-and-whites (which look copied) on the text-pages themselves. Aesop is followed by fables of India, Gay, La Fontaine, and others. Also check 257-74: this Japanese and Other Oriental Tales section includes The Story of Zirac and other fable material.
