Abstract
Fables make up one of five sections of this book, and the section is aptly named Merry and Wise: Stories of Ancient Wisdom. There are six Aesopic fables, at least the first five of which are in Joseph Jacobs' classic versions. Two Jatakas tales follow, and then the story of the hare's belief that the world is ending. There is some simple design work along the way, and a nice black-and-white composite of all the fables on 33. The foreword starts with this fine quotation from Henry van Dyke: Let me never tag a moral to a story, nor tell a story without a meaning (5).
