Abstract
A small book of twenty-five fables. (The second extra copy is missing nine, as 29-60 are repeated where 61-92 should be.) The fables are harmless and enjoyable, in the direction of Ade's having fun with the whole institution of capturing a man. The best of them seem to me to be The Woman Who Made a Conquest (43), The Woman Who Took Advice (55), and The Woman Who Talked Well (117). Is the publisher's note ironic when it claims that these were first published at the turn of the century by A.H. Bullen? Lively contemporary illustrations.
