"This book reprints "Das grosse Fabelbuch, Für die Jugend ausgewählt von Walter Heichen," published by Weichert in Berlin about 1905. Several colored illustrations were dropped. Some 25 authors are included, including a ...

"Here is a second copy of this book, bound in a different order and lacking several of the pages in my better copy. Because it is different, I will keep it in the collection. First, what did I write about the original ...
