Abstract
Some ninety-four fables in this book of 138 pages with a bright red cloth cover showing BW in white. There are delightful little black-and-white illustrations, like that for the battling frog and mouse on 35; one hardly notices the huge claws descending from the sky. In fact the stories open with a fine quack frog on 9. Enjoy the contrasting expressions on the faces of the two pots on 55. TB on 65 is funny, as the supposedly dead traveller under the bear's weight and scrutiny keeps one eye open. The black-and-white illustration for BW is on 134, and it is good. I wish I could fill in more information, like the artist's name and the publisher's location; Gaelic script is temptingly close to our own. I have a lingering suspicion that I have seen these illustrations elsewhere. Start your search with the smug fox on 126.
