The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse 2407(cloth)

Abstract

I cannot believe the various editions of this book that I am finding! I think this makes the sixth. It seems to replicate #407 perfectly in terms of the sequence of pictures. Is it perhaps a more recent version of it? This book is in any case in good condition. Has the text printing changed somehow from #407 to this edition? The Laurie copy adds lovely colored designs behind the printing on the bottom of the page; they echo the larger pictures nicely. This copy has some (water?) damage at the bottom of its pages. I'll keep all three in the collection. Someday I will meet a Saalfield historian and get more clarity on the family tree of this booklet!
