Remark:
This is a rare, ephemeral find! This 5 x 7 1/4 soft-cover paperbound book has some 290 pages. Each of 299 fables is printed in English on the left side and in Chinese characters on the right side. I cannot identify the English version of the fables, but the total of 299 fables should give a good clue. There are charming errors here, like Teh for The on the spine and chriping for chirping on 4. The first two pages have some Chinese and English writing on them, respectively. The back cover is detached. I am somewhat amazed to have found this book!
