Remark:
A very funny little book, most like Bierce in its sardonic and surprising treatment of the fables. There is also a touch of Thurber here. The illustrations are delightful, particularly for a cheap little book. The two accounts of the farmer and the snake (23 and 52) are sexist but funny. I like GA on 25. TH, FC, and many other old friends are here.
