Child Life in Tale and Fable: A Second Reader
(The Macmillan Company, 1899)
Here is a later printing--and better copy--of a book I have already listed under 1899/1912. Let me repeat my comments from there. There are several colored full-page inserts, but none for fables. Five fables appear, all ...
Child Life in Tale and Fable: A Second Reader
(The Macmillan Company, 1899)
