The Fables of Æsop.
Edited by Joseph Jacobs.

Macmillan. 1.50
It is difficult to say what are and what are not the Fables of Æsop.... In the struggle for existence among all these a certain number stand out as being the most effective and the most familiar. I have attempted to bring most of these into the following pages.--Preface.
Children cannot read an easier, nor men a wiser book.

Brown, A. F.
The Book of Saints and Friendly Beasts.
Houghton. 1.25
These sweet tales of the saints of long ago and their little brothers the beasts have a gentle influence. The stories include that of Saint Bridget and the King's Wolf, Saint Fronto's Camels, Saint Rigobert's Dinner, and Saint Francis of Assisi.
