A Series of Stories illustrating Fables of AEsop. By GREGSON GOW. With 3
Pictures in colours. Cloth extra, 2_s._
Stories designed to bring before the young mind, in a new and
entertaining form, some of the shreds of wit and wisdom which have
come down to us from ancient times in the guise of fables. Although
amusement has been a chief end aimed at, most of the tales will be
found to suggest some important truth, or teach some sound lesson in
practical morality.
"Agreeable reading for the young."--_Athenaeum._
"The most delightfully-written little stories one can easily find
in the literature of the season. Well constructed and brightly
told."--_Glasgow Herald._
