Abstract
Here is an energetic book for children 8-10 years of age. Two things characterize this book. The first is dramatic illustrations, just right for children of that age. Good examples are the wolf in L (10-11); the crow in BF (26-27); and the characters in TB (54-55). A second unusual feature is the book's structure. Illustrated fables get a page for text, a two-page spread for an illustration, and then a blank page. Fables not illustrated get a single page for text with a blank obverse. (An exception is "Fox and Leopard" (51), which has one page for text combined with its illustration.) There are thus many left-hand pages that are blank. 7½" x 9½". There is one more curious feature of this book, its provenance. It announces "Aesop's Fables" as its source, perhaps a reference to texts taken from the 1884 version with illustrations by Weir, Tenniel, Griset, and others. In fact there was an earlier "Fábulas de Esopo" by the same publisher, artist, and page total from 2016. It has a different cover-image and seems unavailable.
