Longmans' Ship Literary Readers: Book I.

Abstract

A very nice first reader in very good shape. There are five fables with good simple illustrations, especially The Farmer and the Donkey (7), The Cats That Went to Law (28), and The Silly Frog (34). The farmer (more usually a miller) and his son are going home, not to market. The silly frog intends no harm to his mouse friend. Also The Fox without a Tail (71) and The Monkey and the Cat (73) in script.
