This book is a delightful find that I just looked at in a Kripke Conference paper. For each of fifty fables, Anderdon adds to the usual narrative and illustration a short spiritual teaching and scripture quotation. Then ...

This book was put together after three volumes of Public and Parlor Readings met with success. The readings here are particularly for those ten to sixteen years old. T of C at the beginning. Along with such delights as ...

Good condition. Five fables, several with rhyming morals and illustrations of historic interest. In BW (42), John loses his pet lamb along with other sheep. SW (59) is well told. The others are The Clock and the Sundial ...
