Abstract
This is a beautiful, large-format edition with eight colored illustrations, particularly well rendered here. Fifty fables. This book represents the most comprehensive presentation I have of one group of Rountree's work; see my Ward, Lock (1924?) edition for the most comprehensive presentation of the other group. His illustrations here fill out their rectangles; there they frequently had a completely white background, with only a foreground figure to stand out. Many black-and-white designs and full-page illustrations; there are none in the other (1924?) group. One finds some of the less-than-full-page black-and-white illustrations in Children's Wonder Book (1920?) and The Mammoth Wonder Book for Children (1935). Do not miss the illustrations for The Cat and the Mice and The Thief and His Mother. Also do not overlook the great MSA illustration under the last item in the T of C. The (prose) texts here seem generally from James, sometimes altered slightly. Not paginated. The extra (Hay-on-Wye) copy has a superior cover illustration, and so I keep it in the collection. In it some pages are loose, some colored illustrations damaged, and some black-and-white illustrations colored.
