FOUR WORTHIES
"ÆSOP'S FABLES"
P--This enduring form of literature may be read in
almost any grade. The edition is to be determined
largely by the grade for which it is designed. In
point of effectiveness in showing human
experiences and weaknesses by means of animal
action, the classic fable has never been equalled
by any other form of literature. He would be a
rash man who would claim that Lincoln owed to
Euclid more of his power to think out a question
and carry his point than he did to Æsop. Fables
are imaginative literature, and in that lies their
power rather than in their didactic assertion that
later became attached as a moral to be pointed.
They need but one moral, as G. K. Chesterton so
aptly observes; for nothing in this world has more
than one moral.
*"The Fables of Æsop." Selected and told anew by Joseph Jacobs.
Illustrated by Richard Heighway. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. In the New Cranford
Series. Macmillan. Good for younger children, but should be printed
without notes and advertisements.
*"Æsop's Fables." Illustrated by Arthur Rackham, in colour-plates. 12mo.
Cloth, $1.50. Doubleday. An attractive edition, except the poor binding,
for older children. The introduction by G. K. Chesterton is very
readable for grown-ups.
*"A Hundred Fables of Æsop." From the English version of Sir Roger
L'Estrange with an introduction by Kenneth Grahame and illustrations by
Percy J. Billinghurst. Square 8vo. Cloth, $1.50. Lane. Good in its
quaint English.
"Æsop's Fables." Illustrated by Boyd Smith. 8vo. Cloth, $2.00. Century.
