I Will Fable for You a Fable: Stories and Fables According to the Bible, the Sages, Aesop, Krylov, La Fontaine

Abstract

There are eight fables on 24 pages: The Lion and the Stork; The Frog and the Bull; The Precious Stone and the Gray Stone; The Locust and the Ant; LM; The Woodchopper and the Ring; The Trees Wishing to Crown a King; and FG. I am delighted to see that the biblical fable from Judges 9:8 made it into this text. Notice that several traditional animals are let go here for replacements, specifically the lion for the wolf and the locust for the cicada. The fox in this illustration is eating the grapes! The strongest of the illustrations may be that for OF. Of course, the book moves in the opposite direction from ours.
