    Remark:
    This book seems to reproduce exactly The Book of Fables, published by Frederick Warne in New York in 1962; my copy is dated 1963. This volume from Ward Lock changes the title from The Book of Fables to Aesop's Fables, Including Fables by Gay, La Fontaine, and Others. The others include Dodsley, Gellert, Lessing, Florian, and Kriloff. (These others had been listed there; indeed, their inclusion there was more logical.) As I comment there, this is a wonderful fable collection! The frequent line drawings and sixteen colored illustrations by Nickless are lively; the best may be of the charger and the miller (28), of the miller's falling ass (36), and of the mice-generals (49). His colored illustrations include a good deal of the story, as with the picturing of Jupiter in BF (14). This book has far thicker pages than most! There is both a T of C and a list of colored illustrations. The book's organization is not apparent. I also have Nickless' work in the shorter Aesop's Fables that Ward Lock included in their Rainbow Series in 1964. This book is in the Prince Charming Colour Book series. It is inscribed in 1962.
