Abstract
This is a curious book. It seems at first glance to reproduce a section of Folk Tales and Fables of the World done by the same author and illustrator for two different publishers in 1987. In fact the seventeen selections are the same as the seventeen there. But this edition apparently changes the text of each one in minor ways. Each fable is differently told, but so close that it seems as though the changes were made just so that the text would be different. The Apples of Iduna has become The Apples of Youth. I would love to know why these changes were made. Here the six Aesopic fables are presented on 34-39, together with the lovely fable mural from the earlier volume. All the colored illustrations from the earlier volume seem to be reproduced here; they are complemented by new black-and-white engravings. Five of the fables have engravings.
