Abstract

Here is the thirty-first fascicle. Pages 481-496, plus a jacket. This fascicle first finishes the last lines of "The Women and the Secret." Then follow "The Dog Who Carried His Master's Dinner Around His Neck," with a full-page illustration showing the dog's frazzled attempt to escape with his basket; "The Laugher and His Fish"; "The Rat and the Oyster"; and the start of "The Bear and the Lover of Gardens," including one of Doré's strongest full-page illustrations. What a huge rock the bear is wielding!
