Remark:
A wonderful find sitting out on the table waiting for me! Excellent condition. Nineteen fables with witty and exuberant watercolors, many featuring cute insects having fun around the central action. The best illustration is of the grasshopper on 6. FS pictures are reversed. The milkmaid marries a farmer and so gets all that she had dreamed about! The grapes fall from laughter to a waiting rabbit after the fox goes away. The version of GA will not work, I think: the grasshopper has become serious and now sings for his supper! A delight.
