Abstract
Six fables are told here in a small format, hard-covered book: GA, FC, OF, WD, TMCM, and WL. The versions have a tendency to soften harsh endings. Thus the ant hands the grasshopper a broom and tells him that he will have to work for his supper. The ox himself is the interlocuter with the about-to-burst frog. The lamb at the end of WL had to run for her life. This may mark the first time I have seen the lamb get out of this fable alive! The illustrations are typical of Tormont publications: bright, lively, slightly cute. This booklet comes in a square box with four other fable booklets. The box itself has a nice set of five illustrations taken from the books.
